Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Meta has reportedly integrated facial recognition software into an app linked to its smart glasses technology, according to a new Wired report. This comes despite the company recently stating it was still "thinking through" the implications of such technology. The feature is not yet available to users, but privacy experts have called the move "ethically dubious." Meta has previously faced legal issues over facial recognition, including costly settlements related to its Facebook platform.
