What's this about?
A Dutch satirical creator used Meta AI Glasses around Meta's Amsterdam office to criticise always-on recording. Meta removed the posted video, making moderation itself the bigger story.
What exactly is the hypocrisy claim?
Critics say Meta promotes wearable cameras used to record strangers, yet objected when the same device and visibility were directed at its employees. The legal and ethical status of filming and publishing are still separate questions.
