Meta has been facing growing backlash in the Netherlands over its Ray-Ban smart glasses. One of the largest Dutch eyewear retail chains said on Friday it had suspended sales of the glasses in the Netherlands and Belgium, citing growing privacy concerns. The decision comes as concerns grow over people, particularly women, being secretly filmed using Meta smart glasses, with reports saying footage has circulated in Telegram groups.
Hans Anders, a large eyewear chain in the Netherlands, is pausing sales of Meta glasses. Wehkamp, a Dutch online retailer, is also pausing sales.
