Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who is presiding over the trial, ordered anyone in the courtroom wearing AI glasses to immediately remove them, noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned.

"This is very serious," she said.

    She didn't do anything though. Each and every individual should have been immediately charged and arrested. It's a felony to film in a court room without permission. Every dipshit wearing those glasses should spend a month in a cell before the trial continues.

    Isn't it usual procedure that everyone else enters the courtroom and takes their places before the judge walks in? So the team would have had ample opportunity to film, record and facially-recognize the jury before Judge Kuhl made them take off the spyglasses.

    The Judge also ordered them to dispose of anything they had already recorded.
    No way of actually checking that they did delete anything, but the possibility of footage or photos being leaked by a disgruntled worker, etc would be a massive liability for those two idiots.

    For that reason alone, she should have held them in contempt and declared a mistrial before wasting anyone else's time.

    Zuck and his crew should've been arrested on-site for such an egregious breach of privacy and mockery of the justice system. And the next set of jurors should've been immediately informed of why there was a mistrial, and the very obvious danger of the defendant having even one frame of video with a jurors face in it.

    Instead, he got free viral marketing.

    What a fucking clownshow.
