TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND CO. The CNIL is interested in the use of Meta Ray-Ban connected glasses

Available for several months, Meta’s connected glasses allow you to film continuously while walking down the street. Inducing a legal headache.

Are we allowed to wear Meta Ray-Ban glasses on the street to film passersby? This is the question to which the CNIL must answer, which informs Tech&Co that it has received its first complaint in this regard. A complaint that is now “under investigation”, adds the Commission.

legal puzzle

Priced at 360 euros, the glasses from the glasses giant EssilorLuxottica and the parent company of Facebook are enjoying great commercial success thanks to a simple principle: the integration of a camera in the branch to film everything you see. happens before our eyes. To, obviously, better broadcast everything live on Facebook and Instagram.

Problem: This use is a real legal headache. Because by using this new camera glued to their eyes, users run the risk of violating the privacy of passersby they encounter, especially if the video stream is broadcast on social networks.

A topic that combines the issue of image rights, the Internal Security Code – which regulates in particular video surveillance instruments on public roads and, of course, personal data. It is on this last issue, framed in the RGPD, that the CNIL must rule.
