After backlash, Meta pauses plan to ‘rate limit’ its smart glasses

Remember when Meta was planning to charge a $20 monthly subscription fee for the smart glasses feature that lets people hear each other more clearly - even though that feature runs locally on your glasses and doesn't require the cloud? Meta has paused those plans, spokesperson Tyler Yee confirms to The Verge . The company is not giving up on the idea of a subscription fee for certain features - that's still moving forward.
