US Senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey are asking Meta to explain privacy and safety practices for its AI camera glasses, including who can access recordings and how footage is used. Their inquiry cites reported recordings of intimate moments and raises questions about safeguards and pre-release testing.

Wyden and Markey sent Mark Zuckerberg questions about camera activation, recording indicators, access to images, AI training, and safety testing.
The senators point to reporting about people being secretly filmed and to claims that contractors reviewed intimate footage.
The reports differ on the response deadline: Engadget says November 26, 2026, while Digital Trends says November 25.
