After Meta announced this month that it would ban users using the glasses to film themselves harassing strangers, a recent investigation by Oligarch Watch still found hundreds of these videos on its platforms.
In one viral video on Instagram, a pick-up artist who goes by “_mypointofvue” films himself approaching an underaged girl in a shopping mall.
The user, according to Oligarch Watch, has posted dozens of similar videos since Meta announced the crackdown.
The clear privacy risks posed by Meta’s glasses have been a heated topic since the devices debuted.
Earlier this month, Instagram head Adam Mosseri addressed the harassment being carried out using the smart glasses, vowing to crackdown on it “every way we can.”
