"The open letter highlights that facial recognition poses a threat to privacy and civil liberties, especially for marginalised and vulnerable groups. It mentions issues such as stalking, harassment, and threats to life and livelihood that could be violated by the feature, even if there's an opt-out from it."
"The group asks Meta not to release any facial recognition-related feature, and publicly disclose any known instances when its device was used in the context of stalking, harassment, or violence, along with steps taken to mitigate such risks."
Meta is reportedly developing AI-powered facial recognition technology for its future smart glasses, raising significant privacy concerns. An open letter signed by 77 organizations, including the ACLU, urges Meta to stop this development. The technology, known internally as Name Tag, could identify people around the wearer. Critics argue that this poses threats to privacy and civil liberties, particularly for marginalized groups, and could lead to stalking and harassment. The letter calls for transparency regarding any misuse of such technology.
