Mark Zuckerberg has never been a trustworthy person at any age in his life, everything he touches is tainted.

Meta has stopped working with Sama, a company in Kenya that helped train its AI using videos from the Ray-Ban glasses. After that, Sama fired about 1,100 workers. Some of the workers say they lost their jobs after speaking out about the very private videos they had to watch. The workers saw very private videos from the smart glasses, including people using the bathroom, taking off clothes, having sex, private talks, and even bank card details. So many users did not know that a guy in Kenya were watching their videos to train the AI so a class-action lawsuit against Meta was filed Sama has lost the contract with Meta and fired 1,000 people Meta has not given a detailed public statement on ending the contract or the workers’ claims

Key Takeaways
What the community is saying — both sides
Supporting
1
Privacy alarm:
Users fear the glasses and similar devices capture intimate data with unclear access and consent — “Who sees the data, under what conditions?” is driving calls to delete Meta apps and avoid the hardware.
2
Outsourcing equals exploitation:
Many point to companies like Sama and Kenyan annotators as evidence of a “digital sweatshop,” arguing AI training shifts the human cost to low‑paid workers who watch people's private lives.
3
Moral outsourcing / profit motive:
Critics say Meta keeps the trained models while letting third parties bear the ethical fallout — “profit above all else” and “outsourcing the moral cost” are framed as intentional business choices.
4
Demand for accountability and regulation:
Replies cite class actions and call for legal bans on risky outsourcing, with questions about why executives aren’t prosecuted for alleged privacy violations.
5
Intense personal outrage at Zuckerberg:
A sizable thread of replies attacks his character — labeling him untrustworthy and calling for severe punishment or exclusion — reflecting deep personal distrust of the CEO.
6
Concrete harm scenarios:
Commenters highlight specific risks — stolen bank details, private videos, stalking and sexual exploitation — as immediate, tangible consequences of the devices’ data flows.
7
User culpability and naïveté:
Several voices argue people should have expected this, urging personal responsibility: stop buying, delete Meta accounts, and don’t expose yourself to the ecosystem.
8
Sarcasm and consumer mockery:
Some responses lampoon both the product and its buyers — mocking the glasses and suggesting widespread gullibility or a decline in common sense.
Opposing
1
Privacy alarm:
Many replies treat the glasses as a basic surveillance threat — asking why anyone would have sex, use a bathroom, or enter payment details in front of a camera, and calling for visible safeguards like flashing red/blue lights while recording.
2
Buyer-blame and schadenfreude:
A strong strand says purchasers are foolish and deserve the fallout — comments range from “don’t be surprised” to blunt assertions that consumers brought this on themselves.
3
Liability argument:
A smaller but distinct view insists the problem is raw data liability, not the vendor — arguing responsibility lies with how collected data is handled, stored, and shared.
4
Xenophobic and antisemitic attacks:
Several replies turn to racial and religious scapegoating — calls to “re-home the tech industry to the West,” remove foreign workers, and explicit anti‑Jewish and anti‑African insults appear alongside criticism of the product.
5
Mockery of tech leaders and brands:
Many responses are sarcastic — joking about CEOs (e.g., Sam Altman/Sama, Zuckerberg), ridiculing marketing (“Smart Glass”), and treating the launch as fodder for ridicule rather than serious debate.

Outsourcing the moral cost again — Meta keeps the model, Sama takes the fallout.

Anybody stupid/demented enough to buy & use Meta's "Ray-Ban" surveillance platforms deserves whatever happens to HIS data. As for the 'glasses' themselves, they should be required to have flashing red/blue lights at all times the 'user' is in range of any non-relative.
