Meta's AI display glasses reportedly share intimate videos with human moderators (www.engadget.com)

Users of Meta's AI smart glasses in Europe may be unknowingly sharing intimate video and sensitive financial information with moderators outside of the bloc, according to a report from Sweden's Svenska Dagbladet released last week. Employees in Kenya doing AI "annotation" told the journalists that they've seen people nude, using the toilet and engaging in sexual activity, along with credit card numbers and other sensitive information.

So, hypothetical, if I bought these, put a spare laptop in a closed, filled with the worst shock movies from the internet, and set these glasses so that they continuesly watch these videos. Would that be against the EULA?

You'd just be ruining a minimum wage worker's day and possibly traumatizing them. They typically outsource content annotation/moderation so no one important at Meta would be affected.

The better course of action is to continue to ridicule anyone you meet wearing these poorly-disguised surveillance instruments and raise awareness among your peers.

you're punishing those poor guys that are doing the job for $10/month. zucc doesn't care at all as they are already giving ptsd to thousands of moderators tasked of watching the reported gore videos
