## Resource

Meta’s smart glasses software contains hidden facial recognition code capable of turning faces into biometric “faceprints” and matching them against phone-stored databases — a feature not yet activated but raising serious privacy alarms. The Electronic Frontier Foundation warns this could turn users into an unwitting surveillance network, echoing past controversies like Facebook’s automated photo tagging that led to a $650 million settlement. While Meta insists this is just exploratory tech and no final decisions have been made, the race to launch AR glasses is heating up — with Google, Samsung, and even Apple reportedly in the mix — making user privacy a critical battleground.
