The Short Version
Meta fired Kenyan AI firm Sama and 1,100 workers after employees reported being exposed to graphic footage captured without consent through Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses filmed people in bathrooms and bedrooms without their knowledge or consent. When a contractor caught this and raised the alarm, Meta fired the contractor and laid off 1,100 workers who complained. Firing the people who found the problem is not a fix. The glasses still have no built-in safeguards, and Meta chose silence over safety.
