Meta Glasses User Films Diane Morgan Harassment, Drawing 1 Million Views

Summary
A TikTok video with more than 1 million views shows a Meta smart-glasses wearer named Mark accosting comedian Diane Morgan during a TV shoot on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
Crew members asked him to give the production space after he approached Morgan for her phone number and then erupted when challenged, underscoring how the camera-equipped glasses can enable covert public harassment.
Meta has tried to curb abusive pickup and harassment content tied to its glasses, but the company is struggling as clips keep spreading across platforms it does not control, including TikTok and YouTube.
The incident adds to widening backlash against the devices, already nicknamed “pervert glasses,” after a German privacy complaint and a court ban in England and Wales.
