Meta cuts contractors who reported seeing Ray-Ban Meta users have sex
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Meta terminated its contract with the Kenya-based Sama contractor after Sama workers disclosed seeing private footage captured by Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Meta says the decision was due to not meeting standards, while Sama and BBC allege workers were documenting privacy concerns. The story notes ensuing regulatory attention from the UK ICO and Kenya’s data authorities, as well as a related class-action and ongoing scrutiny of data-sharing practices for AI training.
