Some individuals are using the glasses to secretly film strangers, including women who are being unknowingly recorded as men hit on them. This has led to the glasses being referred to as "pervert glasses," highlighting a significant problem for the company. Meta is taking steps to address the issue, including banning certain content filmed with the glasses from its platforms.
