Move Fast, Surveil Things #Meta has deployed facial recognition code to millions of their always-on #surveillance glasses, according to new reporting by Wired. EFF’s Threat Lab was able to confirm that the facial recognition code is present through static analysis of the application. This dangerous new Meta functionality stores faceprints as a series of 2,048 numbers uniquely representing the positioning of a person’s facial features. When this feature is activated, it will convert every new face in the sightlines of the surveillance glasses into a series of numbers, and compare it to all the existing faceprints in the user’s database. #facialrecognition #privacy #biometrics https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/move-fast-surveil-things
