Harvard students used Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to demonstrate how easily facial recognition technology can reveal personal details like names and addresses, raising serious privacy concerns.

I thought the comment was about "giving PimEyes training data via interacting with Facebook".

PimEyes doesn't use images or data from Facebook or other social media.

It's a click bait article that's been regurgitating through the less informed part of the tech news world because it has Meta in its title and it sounds scary.

I know this title is misleading. Sorry if I made a mistake, I just know that some facial recognition systems (including the one used in our cities) use data from multiple public sources including social media, so assumed this one was the same.
