    The irony of calling out Wire for “Dishonest Reporting tm” while saying this nonsense in your leaked memo is staggering:

    But this isn’t the first time in recent months that NameTag has been in the news. In February, the New York Times reported on an internal Meta memo in which Meta discussed plans to install NameTag into its smart glasses. In the striking memo, the tech giant noted that the ethically-fraught feature should ideally be launched “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

    So you know this feature is controversial, you absolutely do plan to release it to the public according to your own internal memos, and you have the nerve to call out a publication for explaining what the feature is and why it’s bad before they explain that it’s not currently implemented and you claim it won’t be. Sloppy work, guys.
