"If you're posting content that is taking advantage of people and harassing them, like a lot of these pickup line kind of videos that we've heard of and seen, then we're going to take the content down," Mosseri said. "We don't want people to be surreptitiously taking videos of other people and harassing them and then posting them on our platform. So we're trying to fight that every way we can."
Business Insider reported that Meta recently pulled two accounts with over a million followers for posting "pickup artist" videos, where women who may not have known they were being filmed have their videos posted online, leading to harassment. A Meta spokesperson confirmed that the accounts were nuked in accordance with the company's existing bullying and harassment policy.
How Meta defines harassment
Meta's official policy on bullying states "We remove content that's meant to degrade or shame, including, for example, claims about someone's sexual activity," and lists a number of specific examples like, "severe sexualized commentary" and "calls for, or statements of intent to engage in, bullying and/or harassment." But there's a lot of gray area. Videos featuring vaguely aggressive acts directed at strangers apparently aren't in violation of Meta's standards, for instance. Neither is a video like the one below, but I'd feel pretty harassed if I were that doctor.
View this post on InstagramThe backlash over camera-equipped smart glasses is definitely growing, whether its apps designed to suss them out in public, condemnation from pop stars, or outright bans on smart glasses in some places.
Whether they have lights or not, hidden cameras are generally legal to use in public places in the U.S. (with a few exceptions), and it's not necessarily against the law to film yourself trying to pick someone up, then post the footage online so weirdos can comment, either.
How to spot hidden cameras in glasses
The rivet: Most standard glasses have decoration of some kind to cover the glasses' hinge. On Meta Ray-Bans and most other camera glasses, they're round and slightly oversized with a glass inner circle.
The tap: There's two ways to trigger an off-the-shelf pair of Meta smart glasses, saying "Hey, Meta, take video" or tapping the side of the glasses.
All that said, despite the growing popularity of the nickname "pervert glasses," camera-equipped smart glasses have a variety of legitimate uses and I assume the vast majority of wearers want a quick way to upload content to Instagram, answer texts, or take a picture without having to pull out their phones, so just spotting the glasses in the wild doesn't mean you've spotted a creeper. Usually.
