According to the Italian data protection authority, it has asked Facebook for explanations regarding its recently introduced smart glasses known as Ray-Ban Stories, in order to determine if the product complies with privacy regulations.
Garante, an Italian watchdog, said on Friday that it had requested clarifications from Facebook via the Irish data protection commissioner, who oversees the social media corporation because its European headquarters are in Ireland.
In collaboration with Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica, Facebook unveiled its first smart glasses on Thursday.
The company had previously said it would not access the media used by its smart-glasses clients without their permission, following the backlash against its handling of user data in the past. Facebook also said that the firm would not personalize advertising based on the content of images or videos taken with the glasses.
However, Facebook is being questioned about the safeguards it has put in place to protect individuals whose videos are often taken in public, in particular children, and about how data is anonymized as well the features of the voice assistant behind the glasses.
In a statement, a Facebook representative said:
“We know people have questions about new technologies, so before the launch of Ray-Ban Stories, we engaged with the Irish DPC to share how we’ve built privacy into the product design and functionality of the glasses to give both device owners and people around them peace of mind. We’ll answer questions from Garante through the Irish DPC and we look forward to our continued collaboration with regulators in Europe.”

Users of the glasses can choose from a variety of features included in the glasses, including listening to music, making telephone calls, taking images, and recording short videos that can then be shared across Facebook’s services. It has been announced that Ray-Ban Stories will become available for $299.
The new product has been launched as part of Mark Zuckerberg’s aim for Facebook to become a “metaverse,” a proposed idea where people will use digital avatars and virtual reality to interact.In novels, such as Snow Crash, the term “metaverse” refers to immersive digital worlds accessed across a number of platforms, where the physical and digital […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
