A U.S. lawsuit alleges Meta used parents’ and children’s Facebook and Instagram photos without permission to train its unreleased facial‑recognition system for new AI glasses.
A lawsuit filed in the United States by a group of parents and their children claims that Meta Inc. used their Facebook and Instagram photos without consent to train a facial‑recognition system called NameTag, which is intended for the company’s upcoming AI glasses. The plaintiffs argue that the images were harvested from social media profiles and fed into the system without any authorization. Meta has not yet responded to the allegations. The case raises questions about data privacy and the use of personal media in training artificial‑intelligence models.
