These things are undermining not just our public spaces but the very nature of being human. Let's shame them off the streetsSo far I am yet to be tempted into purchasing a pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses. To a certain extent this is a function of possessing a large, misshapen and comically convex head upon which no pair of sunglasses has ever looked remotely appropriate. Nor am I one of those consumers who professes to be “really into gadgets”, a preference I've always found weirdly unspecific. It's subtly telling when people claim to be into “gadgets”, because they're never talking about, say, a tin opener.

While the strengthening of child safety features is welcome, the tech giant once again batted off efforts to alter its products.Meta's decision to settle enabled it to avoid any admission of liability. It put a stop to the awkward questions being asked of witnesses including Adam Mosseri, Instagram's CEO, and the damaging claims made by whistleblowers such as Arturo Béjar. This former Meta safety engineer told the court that his own daughter had been sent unsolicited photos of male genital...
