The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) in Kenya has launched an investigation into privacy concerns surrounding Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses.

• The probe focuses on the potential for mass surveillance and the alleged use of data from the glasses to train Meta's AI systems.
• The investigation was prompted by a petition from The Oversight Lab and backed by over 150 organizations and individuals.
• Kenya joins other countries, including the United Kingdom, in scrutinizing these devices, with Meta also facing legal challenges in the United States.
