The Ray-Ban Meta Glasses are popular and in high demand. As a result, Meta is expanding their availability to more regions. The Meta Ray-Bans are currently available in select markets like the US, Canada, and parts of Europe, but they'll soon be launching in India, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates.
Meta announced new styles, more features and wider availability of both its Meta AI and Ray-Ban smartglasses. For context, these smartglasses combine Meta's on-device AI with open-ear audio, a camera, and hands-free controls — all inside iconic eyewear frames.
The Ray-Ban Meta Glasses are also getting an additional style. You can now buy them in new and expanded Skyler frame and lens color combos. The Skyler Shiny Chalky Gray with Transitions Sapphire lenses comes in a cat-eye shape with a neutral tone. Meanwhile, the Skyler Shiny Black is now available with G15 Green lenses or with Clear lenses.

While the exact launch dates for India, Mexico, and the UAE remain unknown, Meta is also expanding access to Meta AI on its glasses to more countries in the EU starting today. Additionally, it'll be rolling out the ability to ask Meta AI about what you're looking at and get real-time responses in all supported EU countries beginning next week.
The smart assistant is expanding its capabilities in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
Meta AI's live translation feature is also rolling out to more markets with 'Hey Meta, start live translation' command. It will work across English, French, Italian, and Spanish, without requiring Wi-Fi or network connectivity if you've downloaded the language pack in advance.
As per Meta, when you're speaking with someone in one of those languages, you'll hear what they say in your preferred language through the glasses in real time. You can also view a translated transcript of the conversation on your phone.
Meanwhile, supported music services are also expanding to more countries beyond the US and Canada. You'll be able to request music and ask questions about your favorite songs across Apple Music, Spotify, Shazam, and Amazon Music.

OpenAI's marketing head takes leave to undergo breast cancer treatment
OpenAI's head of marketing, Kate Rouch, has announced she's stepping away from her role for three months while she undergoes treatment for invasive breast cancer. In a post on LinkedIn, Rouch says that Gary Briggs, Meta's former CMO, will serve as interim head of marketing during her leave. "Earlier this year — just weeks into my dream job — I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer," wrote Rouch. "For the past five months, I've been undergoing chemo at UCSF while leading our marketing team. It's been the hardest season of life — for me, my husband, and our two young kids." Rouch says her prognosis is "excellent" and that she's expected to make a full recovery. "1 in 8 American women will get invasive breast cancer," she wrote in her post. "42,000 die every year. Rates are rising for young women. I'm sharing my story [...] to get their attention and encourage them to prioritize their health over the demands of families and jobs. A routine exam saved my life. It could save yours too." Rouch, who previously worked with Briggs at Meta, joined OpenAI in December. She formerly was Coinbase's CMO, and before that led brand and product marketing for platforms including Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook.

Meta found a new way to violate your privacy. Here's what you can do.
Researchers recently caught Meta using tactics that one expert called similar to those of digital crooks to secretly compile logs of people's web browsing on Android devices. No one, including Android owner Google, knew that Meta's Facebook and Instagram apps were siphoning people's data through a digital back door for months. (After the researchers publicized their findings, Meta said it stopped.)

X plays up blue checkmark disclaimer to stave off possible EU fine, source says
By Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Elon Musk's social media company X has highlighted a disclaimer to its blue checkmark in an attempt to head off a possible hefty fine from EU antitrust regulators, a person familiar with the matter said. The European Commission in July last year charged X with deceiving users, saying that the blue checkmark does not correspond to industry practices and that anyone can pay to get a "verified" status. The blue checkmark had previously indicated that an account belonged to a public figure whose identity was verified but Musk changed it to indicate it belonged to a paid subscriber after acquiring X in 2022. X has not admitted wrongdoing and the prominent display of the blue checkmark disclaimer is not part of any settlement proposal with the EU tech enforcer, the person said. The prominent display started a week ago. The Commission said it took note of X's announcement. "Our investigation related to the blue checkmark is ongoing," a spokesperson said. X did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. The EU probe is under the Digital Services Act which requires large online platforms to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content or risk fines as much as 6% of their global annual revenue. Bloomberg was the first to report on the blue checkmark disclaimer.
