Meta is under pressure to explain why it cancelled a major contract with a company it was using to train AI, shortly after some of its Kenya-based workers alleged they had to view graphic content captured by Meta smart glasses.

In February, workers at the company, Sama, told two Swedish newspapers they had witnessed glasses users going to the toilet, and having sex.

Less than two months later, Meta ended its contract with Sama, which Sama said would result in 1,108 workers being made redundant.

I'm banned from the Technology community, so I couldn't post the updated, easier-to-parse headline there:

I would have thought they’d take their glasses off.

So… Meta don’t address the privacy issues. They just move away from the tattle-tales.

What kind of idiot wears meta glasses?

Furthermore, what kind of idiot wears meta glasses while peeing or having sex?
