‘Pervert glasses’: Meta struggles with mockery and misgivings toward its star product The launch of Meta’s new smart specs that feature an integrated camera has sparked a global campaign to discredit one of the company’s breakout consumer products Meta’s latest smart glasses have been on sale for several weeks. They allow you to film, listen to music and chat with the AI and are no longer available in just the Ray-Ban model. Now there are a lot of models, including the most expensive, designed by the influencer Kylie Jenner, sold for €419 ($482) in Spain. @peoplevselon Recording everything we see and do constantly? It’s giving fascism, not fashion, @kyliejenner hun. It’s just been revealed that Meta is planning to make the glasses “continuously record audio while taking photos every few seconds" without any warning light* Literally NO ONE asked for this *Source: Financial Times ♬ original sound - People Vs Elon Hard on the heels of their global launch is a campaign from the London-based activist group Everyone Hates Elon, that includes at least three posters, one of which is an image of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein emblazoned with the slogan “Glasses for people who don’t do consent.” The Jenner ad morphs into a picture of a skull bearing the message: “We’re always watching.” And the third slogan reads: “Biggest advance in pervert technology since the trench coat.” EL PAÍS has contacted the activist group about the impact of its campaign but has not received a response. @peoplevselon Hey @kyliejenner this @rayban @meta glasses ad is better than your one x We don’t have to allow these pervert glasses to become normal.

Facial recognition: what the majority intends to do and what the EU rules are Political tension over the Artificial Intelligence legislative decree. The opposition is up in arms. The Government: “Italia will continue to comply with European legislation, starting with the AI Act, whilst upholding constitutional guarantees and civil liberties, the enforcement of which is the responsibility of the judicial authorities.” Key points The government’s attempt at a surprise move, the opposition’s uprising, the European Union’s veto, reassurances from Palazzo Chigi and, finally, a partial reversal by the ruling majority. This, in a nutshell, is the political turmoil that unfolded over the sensitive issue of facial recognition integrated with artificial intelligence. An issue that has also divided the centre-right once again, with Forza Italia rushing to set itself apart and champion the need to introduce safeguards and protections for rights. Meanwhile, the PD, through its secretary Elly Schlein, accuses: ‘The government argues about everything; it is out of touch with people’s problems. They should be sent straight to Big Brother: they prefer to control people rather than solve their problems.’ The Government’s acceleration It all began on 29 July, when the Government attempted to fast-track the legislative decree transposing the European AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) and which, following the parliamentary process, must return to the Council of Ministers for final approval. It provides that in urgent cases such as threats of terrorism or to life or personal safety, the search for missing or abducted persons, or cases of trafficking or sexual exploitation, law enforcement agencies may obtain – subject to notification, even if only verbal, to the public prosecutor – authorisation to use biometric data collected using artificial intelligence. But that is not all. The draft legislative decree also provides for the possibility that CCTV systems may be used for

As noted by Biometric Update, new guidance from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) addresses the use of facial recognition technology in high-volume, publicly accessible spaces like retail storefronts, adding complexity to the ongoing debate surrounding face biometrics in commercial environments.The OAIC's updated guidance clarifies exceptions to consent obligations for Australian Privacy Principle (APP) entities considering facial recognition in retail settings. Collecting sensitive information, including biometrics, typically requires express consent, and must be reasonably necessary for an entity's functions or activities. However, the OAIC acknowledges the practical difficulties in obtaining direct consent from every passerby when facial recognition is deployed in public retail spaces. Retailers unable to meet consent pathway requirements must rely on exceptions, such as being authorized by law or falling under a "permitted general situation."This update follows the 2024 Bunnings case, which established a high bar for using facial recognition in Australia, emphasizing that each deployment must be assessed against the Privacy Act. Despite community privacy concerns, approximately 80% of Australian shoppers reportedly support facial recognition for preventing violence and identifying offenders.Source: Biometric Update Get daily email updates SC Media's daily must-read of the most current and pressing daily news You can skip this ad in 5 seconds

Windows 11 users discovered a new app in their Start menus last week that they did not install: OneDrive Photos, a full-featured photo organizer with facial recognition capability that arrived via a Windows Update or OneDrive client update, without a consent prompt and without an independent removal path. The app can read your local photo library before you sign in to a Microsoft account, presents a People section that groups faces using biometric scanning, and cannot be uninstalled on its own — removing it requires uninstalling the OneDrive sync client itself, a core productivity dependency for most Microsoft 365 organizations. For enterprise IT teams, the more immediately consequential problem is what Microsoft has not said: the company has not published documentation clarifying whether facial analysis runs on your device or on Microsoft's servers, and that omission makes a mandatory compliance step under European privacy law impossible to complete before the software is already active on managed endpoints. OneDrive Photos Is Not a Feature Update to an Existing App The app now appearing in Windows Search and the Start menu alongside Microsoft Photos is not the same thing. Microsoft Photos — the native Windows 11 image viewer — is an entirely separate application. OneDrive Photos runs through a distinct executable, C:Program FilesMicrosoft OneDriveOneDrive.App.exe, while the core OneDrive sync client runs as OneDrive.exe. It is built on Microsoft's WebView2 framework, making it a web application — specifically, a version of OneDrive.com's photo interface — delivered inside a desktop shell styled to match Windows 11's acrylic aesthetic. That architecture is why the app does not appear as a standalone item in software inventory tools. Standard enterprise asset management systems, including Microsoft Intune device compliance reports and third-party ITAM platforms, catalog installed applications by their registered installer entries.

Queues at sports events can be very long, even at large venues with many entrance gates. To speed things up, Geelong Football Club recently introduced an “express lane” option for club members. Instead of scanning tickets on their phone, members can opt in to facial authentication to enter the club’s home venue, GMHBA Stadium. They upload a selfie to their account, and the technology can then verify them at the entrance. Other AFL clubs are reportedly in discussion with the US-based facial authentication technology provider, Wicket. That means more sports fans may soon need to decide whether this technology is for them. It’s not the first time facial authentication has been offered at Australian sports venues. Fans at this year’s Australian Open could register with Wicket for faster entry. Having your face recognised to “skip the queue and get to your seat sooner” promises convenience. But when consumers provide consent for these technologies to record their facial data, they must fully know what they’re consenting to. Facial recognition is becoming common Facial recognition technologies are becoming increasingly common in Australia. They’ve been used in retail settings to track shoppers, and by police in Western Australia to spot people of interest in crowded places. Facial authentication is a type of facial recognition that relies on the individual providing a selfie to confirm their identity, rather than having their face scanned in a public place. But alongside expanded use come growing concerns about privacy and consent. Under Australian privacy law, facial images and other biometric information are classified as “sensitive information”, which means informed consent is generally required for their collection. In 2024, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner found Bunnings breached privacy law because it failed to get informed consent from its customers to collect facial data in store. If

George Orwell imagined Big Brother as an omnipresent dictator with a heavy black moustache and piercing eyes that “follow you about when you move.” His image is accompanied by the slogan, "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU", a warning enforced by the two-way telescreens found in every home, workplace and public square. George Orwell imagined a dark future created by surveillance technology. Photo: Getty. The dystopian author described 1984 as satire of the “perversions to which a centralised economy is liable.” “Something resembling it could arrive,” Orwell said in 1949, and now academics argue it has. Meta's new AI glasses have restyled Kylie Jenner as an ever-present ‘Big Sister’. Earlier this month, Facebook’s parent company released its signature line of Kylie ‘Starfire’ smart glasses that feature an AI assistant with her own voice. They retail in Australia for $649. The social media mogul was just 9-years-old when she began filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Speaking on Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast in January, Jenner described the constant surveillance of reality TV cameras as a “harrowing experience” that made it “hard” to leave the house. The Meta x Kylie Jenner Starfire AI glasses include an AI assistant voiced by Kylie. Photo: Kylie Jenner/Instagram. Professor Dali Kaafar, Executive Director of the Cybersecurity Hub at Macquarie University, says Australian privacy laws aren’t ready for such an intrusion. “There is a great irony in Kylie, who has spoken openly about the psychological toll of being watched her whole life, becoming the face of a product that wants to normalise covert surveillance,” he says. “Surveillance is being sold to us as a lifestyle rather than as a technology, and my long-standing view is that the biggest privacy shifts do not arrive through legislation, but through cultural normalisation. Normalisation runs through aspirational culture, and once a technology

In today’s digitally secured world, there are certain sensitive situations in which you can expect facial recognition systems to be part of the procedure. International travel often requires a facial scan as part of immigration protocols, and banking apps may ask for it as an authentication factor before you can access your account. And as of this summer, you may also need to have your face scan before you can purchase Pokémon cards. On July 24, the Pokémon Card Game’s official website quietly announced that it will be introducing a facial recognition system for customers wishing to enter Japan’s Pokémon Card Stores. Agreement to the scan is a requisite for entering the stores. The Pokémon Company says that facial recognition scans are being implemented for the purposes of crime prevention and to ensure compliance with entry and purchase rules, with that last point implying that this is the latest attempt to combat the growing problem of Pokémon card scalping. The Pokémon Company appears to be wising up to the risk that letting speculative bulk-buying run rampant will eventually erode its broad base of younger and more casual fans who, if the only way they can get Pokémon stuff is by buying it an inflated prices from a scalper though an online retail site, might instead just find another hobby/series to love. Under the new system, customers will need to submit to a facial scan before entering Pokémon Card Stores . Facial scans will also be required for obtaining seiriken, essentially queue tickets that stores give out during crowded times with an entry time specified for later in the day, so that shoppers don’t have to physically wait outside the store for the entire time until they can get in. If any individual enters a Pokémon Card Store twice in the

Navajo Nation will deploy hundreds of Flock cameras. What to know - The Navajo Nation Police Department is deploying Flock license plate readers to address public safety challenges. - The system captures vehicle data to help investigate crimes and locate missing persons across the vast reservation. - Officials state the technology does not use facial recognition and is not intended to violate privacy rights. Amid public concerns about the controversial Flock license plate readers installed in various locations across the Navajo Nation, the Navajo Division of Transportation said the project was not its initiative, but was led by the Navajo Nation Criminal Investigations Department and the Navajo Nation Police Department. Flock cameras capture images of passing vehicles and upload information—including the license plate number, make, model and color—to a searchable database that law enforcement officials can use to investigate crimes and locate suspects. The company that supplies the cameras described them as an important way to cover enforcement gaps. The appearance of these cameras on the Navajo Nation seemingly caught Navajo citizens off guard. At a Gallup City Council meeting, one resident called the prospect of the cameras "terrifying" and an invasion of privacy. But the initiative has the support of Navajo leaders, who said it would help solve crimes faster. The Arizona Republic contacted the Navajo Division of Public Safety seeking information from the division and the Navajo Police Department about the Flock cameras. The public information officer referred to the director of the Navajo Nation Criminal Investigations Department, saying the office would be the best source for the requested information. A day later, the Navajo Police Department posted a news release from Flock on its Facebook page discussing the project. It confirmed that Flock has partnered with the Navajo Nation to deploy its license plate reader cameras in

Following more than ten years of preparation and a 180-day roll-out phase, the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) went live in April 2026 in all 29 Schengen states. A significant number of these countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, rely on border control technology from secunet. This technology ensures seamless integration with the EES, captures biometric facial images and automatically verifies travellers’ identities. Experience gained by the Czech Border Police during live operations confirms that secunet’s technology minimises waiting times for travellers despite the more complex EES processes. This is achieved through speedy automated border control systems and self-service kiosks where third-country nationals can enter their data in advance. The Czech Republic is one of the few Schengen states to have opted for the immediate roll-out of full-scale operations. This roll-out took place as early as October 2025, meaning that reliable data on live operations is already available. With an average processing time of 24 seconds per person, the automated secunet easygate border control systems ensure a swift departure for third-country nationals. At the same time, the secunet easykiosk self-service kiosks are successfully fulfilling their role in speeding up the process: they relieve the burden on border control officers by shifting registration and data collection from the counters to the kiosks. In this way, the additional workload resulting from the EES has been effectively mitigated. “We were well prepared for the EES roll-out, and the launch went very smoothly,” says plk. Mgr. Petr Malovec, Ph.D., Deputy Director of the Directorate of the Foreign Police Service, Police of the Czech Republic. “It was also important to us that, despite the additional workload, our staff could continue to focus on their core tasks and that travellers would continue to enjoy a pleasant travel experience. We have achieved these objectives too,

DHS looks to consolidate aging biometric examination tools The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is exploring the acquisition of a multimodal examination platform that would allow government biometric specialists to review fingerprints, facial images, irises, and latent prints from within a single integrated environment. A Request for Information (RFI) issued by DHS’s Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) seeks details from technology companies about available software, integration approaches, and costs. The notice is for market research and does not constitute a solicitation or commit the government to making a purchase. OBIM operates the department’s central biometric identification services, providing identity information to federal, state, and local government personnel who need to determine who they have encountered and whether the person may pose a security or public safety risk. Although much of the initial matching process is automated, human examiners remain necessary when biometric searches produce uncertain results, when records contain errors, or when candidate lists require expert adjudication. OBIM describes its Biometric Support Center as the largest biometric examiner operation in the U.S. government and says it supports mission critical services around the clock. The center, however, continues to rely on several separate and increasingly outdated examination systems. One internally developed tool is more than 20 years old and supports only ten-print fingerprint work, according to the RFI. DHS now wants to determine whether commercial technology can consolidate those functions without tying OBIM to a particular biometric matching vendor. The contemplated platform would support fingerprints, facial recognition, iris recognition, and latent-print examination, and needs to be able to operate in a high-volume environment where examiners may be required to review biometric results in real time, while also integrating with OBIM’s existing biometric system and complying with DHS security requirements. The examination platform would not itself collect biometrics from travelers, immigration

Apple said to delay smart glasses launch after Meta backlash Apple is likely to wait until WWDC 2027 to unveil its own take on smart glasses. That's in part because of additional work on privacy features, and other product safeguards, at a time when Meta's smart glasses are coming under fire. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple views privacy as its top priority, with engineers and marketers trying hard to distinguish the company's approach from Meta's. Apple is expected to avoid using facial recognition in its smart glasses, while sending less data to the cloud and processing more in the device itself. The company also won't use customer recordings to train AI models. Given the phrase "pervert glasses" has been gaining traction online in reference to the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, all of those moves from Apple make sense. Meta's glasses helped establish the consumer market for AI-powered eyewear, but have also become associated with problems of privacy and consent. You May Also Like We've reported on prank creators and pickup artists using Meta Ray-Ban glasses to discreetly record strangers for viral social media content, even as concerns were raised around the legality of recording in public spaces. Privacy advocates note wearable cameras make covert recording easier, and could encourage businesses to restrict the devices. Meta's latest smart glasses launch, including new fashion-focused frames, sparked even more debate over the visibility of the glasses' recording indicators. They're drawing scrutiny from lawmakers, and consumers are increasingly uneasy. No wonder Apple has considered limiting or removing video-recording capabilities altogether, according to Gurman. However, doing so might undermine one of the biggest selling points of smart glasses — legitimately capturing priceless moments with family and friends. If Apple introduces smart glasses — whether at WWDC 2027 or after — the company will be

Foreword: From "Test Equipment" to "Measurement System" — A Paradigm Shift In the previous article (Article 1: Component Selection), the discussion centered on how to make differentiated selections of sensors, lenses, and SoCs based on the extreme application scenarios of fleet safety cameras. However, specifications on paper and design trade-offs in theory must be validated through rigorous physical testing. Many engineers' understanding of an Image Quality Laboratory (IQ Lab) tends to stop at "a darkroom filled with integrating spheres, light boxes, test charts, and optical benches." Yet for a world-class fleet safety camera development team, the value of an IQ Lab extends far beyond the accumulation of hardware equipment. The essence of an IQ Lab is a high-precision Measurement System. Its existence is to answer the following core questions: How can we ensure that the resolution measured today is consistent with the results measured next month? How can we prove that the lab's test data accurately reflects the performance of edge AI algorithms in the real world? To answer these questions, the mindset must shift from simply "purchasing equipment" to "establishing measurement standards." This means the lab must possess extremely high test Repeatability, Reproducibility, and measurement Traceability. A poorly designed lab introduces hidden environmental errors, leading to misjudgments of component true performance and ultimately incorrect selection decisions. This article provides an in-depth practical guide on how to build an IQ Lab from scratch — one equipped with rigorous measurement strategies, a capability matrix, and Golden Sample management mechanisms — ensuring that every data point produced by the lab becomes an unshakeable decision-making foundation throughout the product lifecycle. Measurement Strategy: Define the Target Before Selecting the Equipment The first step in building an IQ Lab is never to open an equipment supplier's catalog. It is to formulate a clear measurement strategy.

After several weeks of discussions that saw dozens of residents speak out against their use, the Stoughton City Council voted unanimously at its Tuesday, July 28 meeting to cancel its two-year contract with Flock Safety cameras. Stoughton is the latest Dane County municipality to cancel a camera surveillance contract with Flock. The city had a contract to lease cameras that had been set to expire in December of 2027. City attorney Rick Manthe said the agreement does not allow for early termination, so the city would need to buy out the remainder of the contract. The city’s data would then be deleted and the cameras disabled. On Thursday, Mayor Tim Swadley told the Hub the cameras are now disabled. Stoughton Police Chief Brandon Hill said at the meeting that representatives from Flock told him the city could not get a full refund on the two-year contract, nor a termination of the second year at no cost. “We’ve already paid the $12,500 (for the first year) we would pay the remaining $12,500 (for the second year), they would come and get their cameras, deactivate accounts, and it would be done,” he said. Residents spoke again Monday about concerns about the company’s use of facial recognition software, violating privacy rights, and the possibility of data being misused by a third party used by the company. In a presentation to the council last month, Hill said the department has been using Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras since 2019, and asked council members to allow the department to continue using them. He said the department formerly had a contract with a company that was going out of business, so they switched to Flock, a competitor. Hill said the cameras do not capture personal information and do not use facial recognition, and that data

License plate cameras are tracking drivers everywhere More than 119,000 roadside readers have been mapped across US, raising questions about who can search your driving history {{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}One minute, you are driving to the grocery store. The next, a camera above the road photographs your car and adds the sighting to a searchable database. You probably will not hear a click or see a flash. In fact, you may never notice the camera mounted on a pole near the intersection. Automated license plate readers have quietly spread across the country. As of our reporting, the open-source DeFlock map displayed about 119,000 readers across the United States. DeFlock is a community-powered project that maps reported camera locations using public submissions and data from OpenStreetMap. Because the map relies partly on crowdsourced information, it may miss some cameras or include locations that have changed. Flock Safety cameras account for about 83% of the mapped total. California has the largest number of mapped readers, with more than 16,000. Major clusters appear around Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Police say the cameras help locate stolen cars and vehicles connected to serious crimes. {{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}However, privacy advocates warn that the same network can reveal where ordinary people travel throughout the day.

The PV-460, born as the world’s first*1 practical image stabilization technology, significantly improved video quality during handheld shooting and opened up new possibilities for video equipment. This innovative technological concept has become a standard feature in various video devices, including film cameras, digital cameras, and smartphones; LUMIX is, the prime example, and it serves as the foundation for the advanced image stabilization systems found in LUMIX cameras. Today’s LUMIX cameras achieve high-performance shooting for both stills and video through features such as “Dual I.S.”—which combines in-lens and in-body image stabilization—and advanced stabilization technologies for video recording. Underlying these technologies is the same vision that has guided development since the PV-460’s inception: “to deliver greater freedom of visual expression to more people.” Even today, as a pioneer in image stabilization, Panasonic continues to advance this technology every day. In Panasonic’s imaging devices—including the LUMIX series—image stabilization is incorporated into a wide range of models as a key feature that supports both detailed still photography and stable video recording, earning high praise from users who demand the highest quality in their photos and videos. In recent years, the shooting styles

Cost of AI fraud has fallen by a hundredfold: Unico, Liminal report A new study from Liminal and Unico offers yet another look at the new era of identity fraud, in which isolated incidents have evolved into a “coordinated, economically rational network amplified by generative artificial intelligence.” According to the Identity Fraud Intelligence Report: Trends and Insights, sophisticated fraud assisted by generative AI already accounts for 23 percent of fraud attacks globally, leading to losses exceeding $400 billion per year. Intermediate-level forgeries using manipulated image or video streams – including basic injection attacks – account for 45.8 percent of cases. Hybrid methods combining deepfakes, injection methods and sophisticated physical manipulation represent 23.3 percent of the total. Deepfakes cause average losses exceeding $280,000 annually, and nearly 20 percent of cases result in losses above $500,000. Conversely, the cost of mounting attacks has fallen more than a hundredfold, as generative AI tools become ever more freely available online via subscription models. Per the report, “the barrier to entry for sophisticated attacks has nearly disappeared.” “In this environment, nearly 90 percent of fraud professionals identify synthetic content, including manipulated documents and bot impersonation, as one of their leading concerns today.” Identity has become “the central point at which revenue is either protected or lost.” And no market is safe. Defense must meet fraud with coherent strategy Davi Reis, vice president of strategy at Unico, says the findings “reveal a structural imbalance in the current fraud prevention system.” “While criminals operate through coordinated networks, at low cost and at scale, institutions still rely on static and isolated defenses, increasing their exposure to repeated and sophisticated attacks,” Reis says. He calls the current moment a paradigm shift. “If fraud operates as a network, intelligence must also be interconnected – making biometrics essential to identifying repeat
