Kansas AG Kobach sued Snap in state court for deceptive practices and addiction design. Snap claimed federal court jurisdiction by arguing it acted under direction of DHS and FDA, but the court granted remand to state court. Legal analysts warn that Snap's government work claims could expose it to state-actor liability, potentially undermining its content moderation authority and creating massive litigation risk.
Snap Specs are standalone true AR glasses priced at $2195 that deliver impressive technology but suffer from optical artifacts, limited 51-degree field of view, and misleading promotional content that makes virtual content appear larger than what users actually see through the lenses.
ZuckOff is an iPhone app that detects nearby camera glasses like Ray-Ban Meta and Snap Spectacles by monitoring their Bluetooth signatures, alerting users when such devices are present without requiring an account or sending data off-device. The app logs all Bluetooth devices, allows users to whitelist their own glasses, and provides background alerts and widgets while operating independently from Meta, Snap, and other manufacturers.
