Update, June 8, 2026: Following widespread public scrutiny and WIRED’s critical reporting, Meta has stripped the unactivated facial recognition code from its latest Meta AI app update. Meta has deployed facial recognition code to millions of their always-on surveillance glasses, according to new reporting by Wired. EFF’s Threat Lab was able to confirm that the facial recognition code is present through static analysis of the application. This dangerous new Meta functionality stores faceprints as a series of 2,048 numbers uniquely representing the positioning of a person’s facial features. When this feature is activated, it will convert every new face in the sightlines of the surveillance glasses into a series of numbers, and compare it to all the existing faceprints in the user’s database. Wired and EFF confirmed that the code is present and active, though not yet exposed to consumers. Another researcher confirmed that when they manually added a face to the app database by connecting the phone to a computer in debug mode and issuing a few commands, the glasses would subsequently detect that face when it came into view. Meta has already paid $650 million to settle a BIPA lawsuit challenging mass facial recognition of every photo posted to its platform, a feature which it has since shut down. Despite the billions of reasons not to, Meta seems to have created the capacity to turn their customers into a distributed surveillance machine. This is just one more reason to think twice before buying or using Meta’s surveillance glasses. Considering that Meta previously wrote in an internal document that they want to launch facial recognition “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns," this invasive new feature doesn't come as a surprise. But Meta's surveillance plans won't escape public scrutiny that easily, and we'll be watching if this feature is rolled out to the public.
归纳
据WIRED报道，Meta在其最新AI眼镜更新中植入了面部识别代码，可将视野中的人脸转换为2048个数字特征并比对数据库。电子前哨基金会通过静态分析确认代码存在，但尚未向消费者开放。研究人员通过调试模式手动添加人脸后，眼镜可识别该人脸。Meta此前因平台照片面部识别集体诉讼支付6.5亿美元和解。内部文件显示Meta计划在政治动荡时期推出该功能以规避批评。在公众监督和WIRED报道后，Meta已从最新更新中移除该未激活代码。
点评
Meta在未激活状态下植入面部识别代码，构成对生物识别信息默示收集的合规风险，可能违反多国隐私法关于知情同意的强制性规定。
