Offshore Meta Contractors Reportedly Reviewing Footage of Users in Intimate Settings; Meta has Failed to Explain How Sensitive Images Are Used to Train AI Systems Letter Text (PDF) Washington (October 29, 2026) – Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.)
News outlets have cited numerous reports of the use of Meta glasses to sexually harass unsuspecting women for social media content.
For example, in October of 2025, 404 Media reported that a network of men secretly filmed women while soliciting sexual services using Meta AI Glasses.
The letter follows a request in March, led by Markey, seeking information about Meta’s reported plans to integrate facial recognition technology into Meta Glasses.
To what extent did Meta’s teams responsible for women’s safety and mitigating intimate image abuse participate in the design, development, and evaluation of Meta’s glasses?
