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.

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.
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 controls when the jury is in the room. So the jury enters last, only after the judge orders them in. And the judge can order them out at any time to have discussions outside their presence, too.
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.

Instead, he got free viral marketing.
What a fucking clownshow.
Holy shit.
Kudos to this judge for knowing their shit and acting on it. I love it.
I mean… That’s their job… But yes!
Is it though? In Donald’s America?
Oh sorry… I guess I was projecting…
Each and every individual should have been arrested then and there. Imagine walking into a major criminal trial with a film camera on your shoulder.
No charges?

Not a random individual, but I would expect a court to be able to do so. Hold them, get an expert, verify.
Yep. They should have been arrested.
