After two months, we receive an email from Meta’s spokesperson in London, Joyce Omope. The letter does not directly answer our questions, but explains how data is transferred from the glasses to the user’s mobile app.
We asked Meta to elaborate on how sharing highly private material with subcontractors such as Sama in Kenya can be reconciled with its privacy policy. We posed the same questions to Sama. There was no response."
Obvs.

"At one end, the glasses are marketed as an everyday assistant – a voice in the frame that tells you what you are seeing. At the other end, people in Nairobi sit annotating the most intimate moments the camera captures: open-plan offices, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms. One annotator sums it up: “You think that if they knew about the extent of the data collection, no one would dare to use the glasses”."
