The Guardian view on Meta′s smart glasses: regulators must get on the front foot | Editorial (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Privacy needs defending against invasive wearable gadgets. So far, businesses are ahead of the governmentIt is not yet clear to what extent Meta's new smart glasses will live up to the nickname of “pervert glasses” – bestowed in recognition of the obvious appeal of wearable cameras to voyeurs. The past week has seen rising criticism of the devices, which in the UK have been banned by the pub chain Wetherspoons and the theatre group ATG, as well as restaurants, schools and members' clubs. These organisations deserve praise for standing up for privacy. By contrast, regulators appear once again to be on the back foot.There have, inevitably, already been reports of women being mistreated. Earlier this year the BBC spoke to several who had been filmed without their consent, with footage subsequently uploaded to social media. In one case, the content creator demanded a fee to remove it. In the year to March 2025, image-based sexual abuse and cyberflashing were responsible for more than half of...

Meta Releases Muse Glimmer, A 30B Model That Runs On A Single Consumer GPU
Meta released Muse Glimmer on Monday, a 30-billion-parameter model built for agent work that fits on a laptop. The company published the model's weights - the trained numbers that make up the model itself, meaning anyone can download it and run it on their own machine - on the model repository Hugging Face, under an Apache 2.0 license that is genuinely permissive, without the usage restrictions Meta attached to its Llama releases.
