Accessibility paywall on Meta Glasses 'paused' after condemnation

Meta has paused a test that would have limited free use of its Conversation Focus feature on Ray-Ban Meta Glasses to three hours per month.

The company had planned to put the feature behind Meta One Premium, drawing criticism because it affects an accessibility-related function on hardware already sold.

The backlash raised broader concerns about retroactive paywalls and whether Meta could later charge for other AI-powered glasses features.
