Instagram has announced a new policy to ban content filmed with Meta smart glasses that involves the harassment of strangers. Instagram head Adam Mosseri confirmed the crackdown, stating that the platform will remove videos where creators surreptitiously record and exploit people for "pickup line" content or obnoxious public pranks.
Meta has already deactivated several high-profile accounts, some with over a million followers, for violating these updated safety guidelines. The move follows increasing concerns over the privacy implications of wearable cameras, which have been used to film service workers and women in public without their clear consent.
