Meta terminated its contract with Kenyan data annotation firm Sama after workers reported viewing sensitive private footage recorded by Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, including footage of people changing clothes, having sex, and using the toilet. The February report by Swedish newspapers and a freelance journalist prompted Meta to pause work with Sama while investigating.

The incident has sparked a US class-action lawsuit against Meta and Luxottica, plus investigations by UK and Kenyan data protection authorities.
