Created by content creator Roel Mardelink, the videos feature him visiting Meta's office in Amsterdam and filming while asking employees questions. In the footage, employees and security guards can be seen refusing to be filmed.
Facebook and Instagram removed the videos, stating they "may contain depictions of bullying or harassment." Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, stated that the platform removes content that could lead to misuse or harassment.
Meta positions Meta Glasses as a tool to assist everyday life, and its guidelines encourage users to turn off the device in private locations and to stop filming if the subject shows discomfort.
"Bits of Freedom," a Dutch privacy advocacy group and co-creator of the video, remarked, "Meta seems to have no room for criticism of itself." Meanwhile, Mardelink expressed frustration over the removal of his satirical content.
