Dutch Consumer Group Seeks Court Order to Force Meta Compliance or Ban Ray-Ban Glasses Sales

The Dutch consumer association Consumentenbond has filed a lawsuit seeking to compel Meta to modify Ray-Ban Meta glasses to comply with privacy laws. The primary demand is for changes to default settings and an end to alleged unlawful data processing for AI within two weeks of a favorable ruling. If Meta declares compliance impossible, the group requests a ban on selling the camera-equipped glasses in the Netherlands, excluding cases of medical necessity for blind or partially sighted users. The claim centers on bystander privacy, arguing that recording indicators are insufficiently visible and can be covered. A hearing is scheduled for November 26, 2026, at the Amsterdam district court. Meta has not publicly responded to the current filing.
