Investigation finds teen boys using Meta glasses to film and harass girls at school

A Futurism investigation published August 19, 2026 documented teen boys at US middle and high schools using Ray-Ban Meta glasses to covertly film female classmates in hallways, cafeterias and classrooms, then posting the footage to TikTok and Instagram. The report described behavior ranging from unconsented vlogging to mocking and pickup-artist-style pranks, and said schools are responding with outright device bans rather than adjusted phone policies, citing potential legal consequences for covert recording.
