About this case

Two families have filed a federal class-action lawsuit alleging that Meta harvested photographs from Facebook and Instagram to create biometric faceprints for an unreleased facial-recognition feature called Name Tag for its smart glasses and to train the Emu and Muse image-generation models. The lawsuit is at the filing stage, and Meta disputes the allegations.
