Recently uncovered internal documents from technology giant Meta tell a story more horrifying than all the Nightmare on Elm Street films combined: The company is planning to bring facial-recognition technology to its artificial-intelligence-powered eyeglasses. That means when you’re wearing the glasses you can not only film the people you’re looking at, but the AI will also feed you information about the person in your line of sight.

Such technology, of course, would be a stalker’s dream. See a woman minding her own business at a Starbucks? Just look her over and suddenly, you have her name, address, social media history, pictures of her dogs, and videos of her doing tequila shots on her last vacation.
