Meta is facing a new lawsuit over its AI smart glasses due to their lack of privacy.

Meta is facing another lawsuit, after an investigation by Swedish news outlets found that photos and videos captured by the company’s smart glasses can be reviewed by overseas workers.

Meta’s approach to user privacy is under renewed scrutiny following a Swedish report that employees of a Meta subcontractor have watched footage captured by Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses showing sensitive user content.

Two purchasers of Meta AI smart glasses filed a lawsuit on Thursday claiming they were duped by the company’s claims that the glasses are “designed for privacy.”

As Meta continues to boost the smart glasses market with its EssilorLuxottica artificial intelligence (AI) wearables, the tech giant is being sued for allegedly collecting sensitive content from users, as nudity, sexual situations and more recorded footage has been viewable by Meta employees.

Meta Platforms touts its artificial intelligence “smart” glasses as designed to protect users’ privacy, but the tech company surreptitiously routes video captured by the wearable devices to contractors who view the footage to train Meta’s AI models, according to a new proposed class action filed in California federal court.

Meta’s AI-powered smart glasses could be sending sensitive footage to human reviewers in Nairobi, Kenya, according to an investigation by the Swedish outlets Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten.

Meta may have sold seven million of its Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone — but likely didn’t anticipate the outpouring of criticism when a recent investigation by Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten revealed that Meta’s subcontracted data annotators in Nairobi, Kenya, could’ve been watching users through their glasses’ cameras as they went to the bathroom or had sex.
