Meta’s Kylie Jenner-branded AI smart glasses aren’t selling people on the idea of surveillance chic.
Weeks after Facebook’s parent company launched its wearable tech collab with the social media mega-star, the protest collective Everyone Hates Elon blasted the “fascist” tech accessories in a new campaign right down the road from Meta’s London headquarters.
Refusing to ignore the dystopian side of the video-enabled specs, the group installed holographic dupes of Jenner’s glam glasses ads that revealed the warning “we’re always watching” when seen head-on.
The anti-billionaire activists posted their handiwork on Instagram Monday, using the caption to ask, “Recording everything we see and do constantly? It’s giving fascism, not fashion, @kyliejenner hun.”
Pointing out Meta’s plans to make the $399 glasses “continuously record audio while taking photos every few seconds” without any warning light, as reported by the Financial Times last week, the group said, “Literally NO ONE asked for this.”
