About this case

Parents and children in Illinois and California filed a proposed class action alleging that Meta's planned or dormant NameTag facial-recognition feature for smart glasses could create biometric signatures and compare them with faceprints or social-media data without proper consent. The plaintiffs also allege that Meta unlawfully obtained user images and text used to train certain AI models; the matter is at the filing stage.
