Eyewear chain pulls Meta glasses off Dutch store shelves over social concerns
Hans Anders has suspended the sales of Meta’s AI and camera glasses for an indefinite period, a spokesperson for the optician’s chain has confirmed after a report from the AD. The reason for this is the “public and political discussions about smart glasses” and “the questions about the conditions in which this technology can be used.” “The glasses are currently not available in our stores or webshop,” the spokesperson stated. Hans Anders wishes to await the discussion and eventual measures taken regarding the glasses before it decides if and how these products can be sold.
