Instagram is cracking down on users using Meta smart glasses to harass people and film them in public without their knowledge.
In an Instagram story, head of Instagram Adam Mosseri said: “If you’re posting content that is taking advantage of people and harassing them, like a lot of these pickup-line kind of videos that we’ve heard of and seen, then we’re going to take the content down.”
“We don’t want people to be surreptitiously taking videos of other people and harassing them and then posting them on our platform. So we’re trying to fight that every way we can,” Mosseri added.
As of Tuesday, several prominent ‘pickup artist’ accounts that used these tactics have been deactivated.
