More on Meta's smart glasses patent and its facial recognition history: https://t.co/FIhBtbdGSV

[Simple Cat Software @SimpleCatSoft]

Meta quietly built facial recognition into its smart glasses app, got caught by WIRED, and pulled it. A newly published patent describes the same idea: cameras that identify people and log the faces they don't recognize yet. It keeps coming back.

Flock says its cameras "cannot recognize, identify, or track individuals." Its new AI tool does both — no plate, name, or crime needed. 50+ officers have already been caught misusing the existing system to track women they knew personally.

More on the ClarityCheck leak: https://t.co/k8SXeI8tgL

[Simple Cat Software @SimpleCatSoft]

ClarityCheck calls its face search "private and secure." It left 9 million face images, including children's, sitting in an unsecured database anyone could reach with a link. No password required. A password can be reset. A face can't.

Your videos hide the same data your photos do: GPS, timestamps, device info baked into every MP4 and MOV. ClearShare's latest update finds and strips it — plus manufacturer camera data, and the hidden duplicate images tucked inside your photos.

[Simple Cat Software @SimpleCatSoft]

Every photo you take stores invisible data: GPS coordinates, timestamps, camera serial numbers. When you share a photo, you might be sharing your home address.

ClearShare shows you exactly what's hidden and lets you strip it.

Dating app safety tip: Strip metadata from your photos before uploading.

Most dating apps process images, but not all handle metadata consistently. Your location data shouldn't be part of your dating profile.

What ClearShare actually shows you:

Before: 47 hidden metadata tags including GPS, timestamps, device serial number

After: Just the photo. Clean.

You control exactly what stays and what goes.

Sunday reminder: That photo of the roast you're about to post knows exactly where you are 📍

Most social platforms strip location data, but not all. Messaging apps often don't. Neither do forums or smaller sites.
