More than *70* orgs are warning Meta that integrating facial recognition into smart glasses is a terrible, dangerous idea.
Five years from now, when the consequences are abundantly clear and prevalent, people will point at this warning (as has happened with Meta and Big Tech, time and time again):

Analysis Summary
This is verified. More than 70 civil rights and advocacy organizations did sign a letter warning Meta that facial recognition in Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses poses serious risks to abuse victims, immigrants, and activists. The linked article is well-sourced and multiple independent outlets (Wired, ACLU, Engadget, Mashable, Futurism) corroborate the core claim. The warning is real and grounded in documented privacy concerns — Meta's own internal memo discussed rolling the feature out during a 'dynamic political environment' when civil groups would be distracted. The second sentence is speculative commentary about future accountability, not a factual claim.
