In Italy, there's currently a political situation that I’m refraining from commenting on. The only remark I’ll make is that, unfortunately, no one has pointed out that the person who recorded videos in Montecitorio (the building housing the Italian Chamber of Deputies) did so using Ray-Ban Meta glasses. In other words, not only did they film in areas where filming is prohibited (by exploiting the fact that the rule bans cellphone use for recording), but the videos captured by Ray-Ban Meta glasses are all routed through Meta’s servers. This means they implicitly sent footage of private areas within Italian government buildings to Meta.

In my view, this is a very serious issue, and the lack of discussion about it highlights the unfortunate ignorance regarding privacy among journalists and the general public.
