Meta sued over alleged illegal use of photos for smart glasses facial recognition.

Meta faces a class action lawsuit from parents and children in California and Illinois over its unreleased smart glasses feature called "NameTag." The suit alleges Meta used Facebook and Instagram photos without permission to develop a facial recognition system and train AI models, violating privacy laws. Meta denies wrongdoing, stating no final decision has been made on the feature and no universal face database is being built. The case highlights growing privacy concerns around biometric data and AI technologies in consumer products.

Meta Platforms Inc shares are trading at USD 665.19, up 2.65% as of Sep 15, 2026 03:12 WIB on Pluang. The stock's market cap stands at $1.65 trillion, reflecting strong investor interest despite ongoing legal challenges.
