A decade after Google Glass sparked controversy, Meta’s new smart spectacles have reignited the debate over wearables and personal privacy. A New York subway rider claimed a woman broke his glasses, but instead of sympathy, the internet rallied behind her, celebrating her as a “folk hero” who stood up against people being filmed without consent. Experts point out that Meta’s glasses can be easily tampered with to spy on strangers, and others have even sold stickers for this purpose. The woman in question has yet to face consequences for breaking the man’s glasses, leaving it unclear whether she’ll be held accountable or continue to bask in public adoration.
