Meta sued over claim Kenyan subcontractors reviewed Ray-Ban glasses footage of intimate moments

Fortune reported on July 28, 2026 on a US class-action lawsuit, filed in March 2026 by plaintiffs Gina Bartone and Mateo Canu, accusing Meta and EssilorLuxottica of routing footage captured by Ray-Ban Meta glasses to subcontractors in Kenya without disclosure, including intimate recordings. The coverage noted the glasses had by then acquired the public nickname 'pervert glasses' amid reports of covert filming of people undressing.
