An interesting conflict between a Dutch media creator Roel Maalderink (together with Bits of Freedom) and Meta regarding Meta glasses.
The guy made a video wearing the glasses outside the Meta office in Amsterdam.
The video showed several Meta employees reacting negatively to the glasses, and even asking multiple times if he was filming (showing that even they couldn’t see if the glasses are active.)
Instagram took the video offline, which is the first time this creator had a takedown of one of his videos.
I hope this goes viral beyond The Netherlands.
