  "account": "Meta vowed to remove harassing videos filmed with its AI glasses, but content moderation has been uneven, leaving dozens of videos still on Instagram. Meta removed thousands of pieces of content and blocked search terms related to pickup artist language. However, Business Insider found dozens of these videos still up in the past month, despite Meta removing some after being alerted. Content creator Colin Allen filmed a video of a man using Meta glasses to approach women on the sidewalk with pickup lines. Despite Meta removing the video and others, Allen's other pickup line videos remain on Instagram. Meta spokesperson Tracy Clayton stated that the company removed thousands of pieces of content and deactivated several large accounts. However, digital criminologist Carolina Are argues that Meta's response is insufficient, as the platform does not recognize the systemic issues enabling the behavior and takes no accountability for its policies or infrastructure.",
