No state, California included, bans recording people in plain public view. That's the law. So if the complaint is, I walk through the mall, Meta recorded me, I never said yes. This lawsuit is DOA. Your face in public is fair game. Meanwhile, Meta just pushed down and updates to its glasses. If you disable the light that the camera shows when recording, the glasses' camera stops.

1:02Privacy in public is getting complicated fast, and Kim has been covering it all on her show. Up next, she digs into what's already happening out there, and whether the big Meta Settlement is actually the win people wanted it to be. Batavia Illinois, 240 in the morning. A woman sees a flashlight and a shadow outside her window. Police say the man in her backyard was a registered sex offender. A military court convicted him in 2024. He'd taken a sales key card and let himself into her bedroom. He never met the woman he saw on social media, researched her, and found her home address. Researched, let me translate that word.

So Meta came out with something called the Neural Band. It's a wrist band that reads tiny muscle movements in your wrist. What this means is that when you're wearing your Ray Band Meta glasses and you want to write something, is that you can write messages on any surface with your finger, on a table, on your legs, whatever it may be. Because finger writing on your thigh, if you think about that, you just see somebody finger writing on their thighs. You think they're doing spells or something. That crazy person over there. They're just sending a Facebook message to a group. That's it. The AI bartender. Break Reels R1 will mix custom cocktails based on your mood.

3:04$1200. Is it a robot that does have a face that's going to talk to me? No, it's just a machine. Oh, okay. Not by a man. Is it wrong that when you said a new invention from our device from Meta and I immediately didn't want it because I don't trust them? Is that bad? It's no. Because they're not a good outfit. I just don't trust anything they do. Anything they put out there, I think it's for them to try and suck my life force out of me. Which they do. Right. I won't get the glasses. I won't get this band. I'm not going to be writing on my back. Well, the glasses also do real-time translations on the screen now, too. I won't have it. No. Now, we've talked about it. I don't know anybody aside from my son who has Meta Ray-Ban recording glasses. I literally think it's a scam. And the only reason why he has them is because I purchased them and I said, can you try these out for me? But does he use them? He said it's they're horrible. Exactly. They're horrible. No one has these things. But they say that millions of millions of people are using them. Of course they say that because they have star holders they need to appease.

4:07So how do you know if somebody is actually recording you? Okay. Well, there was that instance where a woman met a guy on a dating app and they went home and did the wild thing and then he sent the recording to her the next day and said, wow, what a great time we had. Sure. I thought you'd like to see this. And he was wearing glasses while they were doing the wild thing. That's a tell right there. I think if he doesn't take off his socks and he doesn't take off his glasses he's probably recording it. Every pair has a tiny white LED in the front corner of the frame. And if it's quick flash that means it's a photo, but it's glowing. That means it's a video. I can't tell you how many TikTok videos I have seen where people find people on Facebook marketplace and they disconnect that light without disabling the camera. Yeah. I know. And they also you can put a little piece of black tape over it because it's just a LED. Does that sound like the camera? Right. Okay. And if somebody's standing there with their finger on their frame, that's probably a sign too. But that's someone not trying to hide it though and that's what we need. Gosh.

5:07Isn't that something? We have to worry about somebody recording us in glasses. I don't think we have to worry. I don't think anybody really owns a pair of them. No, they're making a spectacle of themselves. Oh, good one. I like that one, actually. This is some serious news. The big metacetamant. Mm-hmm. Everybody's talking about, oh, we don't it's going to really change everything. It's going to really make meta change and get better and do things the right way. Well, I saw the restrictions that were placed on meta, whatever. You are, you are selling. You're not. You're not. Early this morning. 18 million dollar fine. 18 million. Oh, billion. What's still could be millions to them on a trillion dollar company, really? But they are putting in on team accounts. Anything went under the age of 18. Oh, yes. There's restrictions. Okay. There's going to be timeouts that are mandated. There's going to be all times. Yeah. The dark times. Oh, yeah, that's going to work. But here's what I don't understand is that with the settlements, the states that were

6:08suing them, like the state of Arizona is getting like something like $238 million or something like that. Why is it going to the state? Why isn't it going to the customers of meta that were the ones that were addicted by this product? Or maybe had some issues, some problems. Right. Right. Coming up, we have a mom whose daughter committed suicide. Exactly. Because of the controls. You know, Facebook was programmed to keep you addicted. Right. It's the cigarettes of the internet. But it wasn't the big tobacco settlement. I mean, the big tobacco settlement was what, $900, I don't know, $900 billion, some crazy nowhere. And then they had to keep paying and paying. I mean, and the kicker on all the such, I don't understand is that maybe because the fine was so low is that when all this came out with meta and they settled right before Mark Zuckerberg actually took the stand by the way. I didn't want him to face the questions. Is the stock went up? Well, because it was only $18 billion. Exactly. But why is the state getting the money and not the victims?

7:09That's why I don't understand. I don't understand that either. And I searched for answers and I couldn't find it. Okay, smarty pants. I know that you need more tips like this because you want to stay ahead of the tech curve. But as they like to say on infomercials, but wait, there's more. This is really fun.
