Meta's 'Pervert Glasses' Are Turning People Into Creeps

About this episode

thumbnail

Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses have earned the nickname "pervert glasses" — and a journalist's firsthand account reveals exactly why. Wearing them didn't just feel creepy; it made her start thinking like one. I break down the real surveillance threat these glasses pose, Meta's data exploitation playbook, and what we can actually do about it.
