This is from today's post by Kim Komando. A stranger in line at Starbucks glanced at you. Normal, right? Nope. They’re wearing Ray-Bans with a tiny camera you’d never notice. In about 90 seconds, their phone shows your name, where you work and your last three Instagram posts.

You didn’t consent. You couldn’t opt out. Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses look like sunglasses but pack a 12-megapixel camera and five mics. Say, “Hey, Meta, take a video” or tap a tiny button, and you’re rolling. A small white LED blinks when recording, but it’s invisible in sunlight. Over 7 million pairs sold in 2025.

Meta is putting facial recognition called Name Tag into the glasses. This would match your face against 3 billion people across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, then serve up your name, your job, your socials.
