Kylie Jenner faces the heat soon after collaborating with Meta on its new wearable tech. While the launch highlights the new technology, many internet users pointed out that AI features raise serious privacy concerns. The debate has quickly spread across platforms, with critics questioning Kylie for promoting the Meta glasses.
Kylie Jenner faces backlash for Meta AI glasses
Meta’s Instagram shared a post with Jenner introducing new Meta Starfire Kylie Edition AI Glasses. The post soon took over the internet globally, drawing negative reactions and raising privacy concerns. The Meta Starfire Kylie Edition AI Glasses, priced at $399, and features Kylie’s AI voice with an HD camera that captures videos and photos.
American media personality Jenner was seen filming herself in front of a mirror wearing glasses. This raised concerns over the internet, as many users pointed out privacy breaches.
One Reddit user wrote, “The potential ramifications of this are so, so bad y’all. I fear for the women, girls and minors who will inevitably be affected by this. I can see the merit of having female styles so that women can record evidence of men being creeps somewhat discreetly, but really, this tech should not exist at all.”
Another user said, “These glasses will forever be predatory and disgusting. So weird ppl use them to record content and other weird ish.”
An Instagram user commented under Meta’s post saying, “Mass surveillance + profit for the billionaires WAKE UP ?”
Though the Meta post received millions of views, people blasted Kylie for promoting these glasses. Many Instagram users uploaded videos sharing their views on new glasses. The launch has fueled conversation about whether privacy laws are equipped to handle these AI wearables, according to BuzzFeed.
While neither Meta nor Jenner has made any comment to address the concerns, the audience continues to discuss the potential dangers of hands-free cameras.
