Meta Smart Glasses Trigger School Bans Over Covert Harassment and Filming

Teenage boys use Meta $META AI smart glasses to record and harass classmates at school. A Futurism review found footage recorded in middle and high school hallways, cafeterias, and classrooms uploaded to social media platforms like TikTok. Students use hands-free smart glasses to bypass phone confiscation pouches during active class hours. Multiple videos show teens harassing female classmates and recording teachers without their knowledge or consent. Legal experts warn that recording inside non-public school grounds potentially violates wiretapping laws and risks felony charges. School districts across the US are moving to explicitly ban smart glasses as the academic year starts. Phone pouches don't work when the recording hardware sits right on a student's face.
