Just a few days ago, the new Ray-Ban Stories on Facebook, one of its most ambitious projects, were unveiled and the alarms are already beginning to sound.
Since they were announced, the new Facebook smart glasses caused a sensation among users, because, for sure, it was not known how they would work.
Undoubtedly, any Facebook launch is and will be subject to scrutiny, not only by users but by various organizations that are responsible for analyzing the effects it may have on their security.
What about the Ray-Ban Stories?
This is the case of the new Ray-Ban Stories of Facebook, which have raised the alarms of some organizations in Italy and Ireland because they consider that the new Mark Zuckerberg is an attack on the privacy of users.
And is that the issue of privacy on Facebook is not a matter of now, but we have been reading and listening to cases where the social network is involved in situations of delivery of personal data to advertising companies and even to some governments for years.
On a platform like Facebook, any user can write anything, give details about their private life as a post. Only this type of data is enough to create a kind of file about what users do on their networks.
Now, the case of the Ray-Ban Stories is also drawing attention due to its operation per se, as it gives users the tool to record and take videos without practically anyone noticing it.
This fact has caused Data Protection organizations to alert about a possible violation of privacy in which Mark Zuckerberg’s company is, again, involved with one of its most ambitious products.
One of the characteristics that has most attracted the attention of these organizations is that the name of Facebook does not appear anywhere on the glasses, making them pass as any glasses, although they are not.
In addition, they have required Facebook to verify that its new smart glasses have the necessary tools to notify users and non-users of the specific moment when they are recording or taking photos.
Facebook in check?
What the social network initially confirmed is that the Ray-Ban Stories have an LED light which warns people that the lenses are in operation at that moment.
Without a doubt, this is an important accusation against the company that, for some time now, has been framed by this type of accusation.
And it is that, regardless of whether they are the Ray-Ban Stories of Facebook, what is at stake with the advancement of technology is the privacy and security of people.
With each technological sophistication, new forms of espionage are developed, much more subtle and even imperceptible to users.
We will see how far this new accusation against Facebook goes, in which one of its most anticipated projects is putting the company in check.
