Two former Meta employees have come forward claiming they were fired after witnessing users of Meta's smart glasses engaging in sexual activity. According to a report from the BBC, the workers said they were able to see and hear private moments through the device's camera and microphone. The employees allege they raised concerns about privacy violations but were terminated instead. Meta has not commented on the specific allegations. The incident raises questions about the privacy implications of always-on wearable cameras and the responsibilities of tech companies to protect both users and employees.
"We were just doing our jobs, monitoring the footage as required, but what we saw was deeply personal and invasive," one of the former employees told the BBC.
