Meta is facing renewed fallout after subcontracted workers reported reviewing graphic imagery captured through Meta smart glasses. The reported contract termination comes alongside action by Kenya’s data protection authority, which announced an investigation into privacy concerns raised by the glasses. The dispute surfaced after investigations by Swedish outlets that described workers saying they could view “naked bodies.” Meta acknowledged that subcontracted workers might review shared AI-captured content to improve product performance, but said it relies on user consent. Meta later ended its contract with Sama, which said the change would lead to 1,108 redundancies. For universities and research labs working with consumer AI and computer-vision systems, the episode reinforces the compliance burden around data access, transparency, and vendor-managed content review—especially where sensitive imagery is involved.
