Facebook/Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses

September 2021

Facebook and Ray-Ban's new Stories smart glasses that let users capture, share and store photos and videos are touted as having been 'designed for privacy'.

As high-profile journalists, commentators, privacy advocates point out, Facebook Stories are only designed with the privacy of their users in mind, as opposed to those in their sights, images of whom can can easily and quickly be used, manipulated or otherwise abused, for multiple purposes, including impersonation, fraud and reputational attacks.
