Meta skips apology for smart glasses abuse at Connect 2026

At Meta Connect 2026, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled VR glasses, audio-only smart glasses and a pendant for Muse AI, but offered no apology for smart glasses being used to record and harass people. Meta already blocks recording when the LED is tampered with and has banned some accounts, yet critics want more.

• Zuckerberg did not apologize for harassment tied to smart glasses
• Meta disables recording if the LED is tampered with and bans accounts
• Counterpoint: smart glasses shipments grew 263% year over year in H1
• Meta accounted for 94% of the smart glasses market in H1
