Meta hired a subcontractor called Sama to have workers manually review intimate content recorded by its Ray-Ban smart glasses to train AI systems — a practice disclosed by Kenyan workers in February 2026 who reported viewing footage of people having sex and using bathrooms. Meta ended Sama's contract less than two months later, eliminating over 1,100 jobs; Meta claims Sama failed to meet standards while workers and labor groups allege the firing was retaliation for speaking out, and both UK and Kenyan regulators have opened investigations into the privacy implications. The post suggests Meta immediately found a replacement contractor, but the BBC article does not confirm whether or how Meta is continuing human review of smart glasses content going forward.
