We See Everything": The Meta Ray-Ban Privacy Scandal | Inside the Kenya Data Centers
"I don’t think they know... if they knew, they wouldn’t be recording." In this episode, we dive into a bombshell joint investigation by Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten that reveals the dark side of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.
While Meta markets these as "privacy-first" assistants, whistleblowers from Sama in Kenya—the human "engine room" of the AI revolution—report seeing users in their most intimate moments. We discuss the disturbing reality of data annotators watching footage of sex, bathroom visits, and even bank cards while training Meta AI.
Is your data actually "local" as some retailers claim, or is it being fed into global servers in Sweden and Denmark?. We explore the failures of automatic blurring algorithms, the legal battles involving GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Commission, and why 7 million users might be unknowingly participating in a global surveillance experiment.
