Meta’s smart glasses show too much – level 1

Meta s smart glasses show too much

20-03-2026 07:00

Many people buy new smart glasses. These glasses have a small camera. They look like simple sunglasses. People use them to take videos. But there is a big problem with privacy.

Workers in Africa watch these videos. They see people in their houses. They see faces and personal things. This is a bad problem. Most people do not know about this. They think their videos are safe.

Now, many people are angry. They talk to the boss at Meta. They want to stop this. They say that the company must follow the rules. It is important to be safe with new technology.

Difficult words: simple (not difficult), privacy (when other people do not know information about you or your life), angry (a strong feeling when something bad or unfair happens).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What do workers in Africa see when they watch videos recorded by smart glasses?
