In April, a Cork-based Ukrainian influencer called Rendy Vlad with over a million followers hit the headlines after a video he took of a young woman’s medical emergency in Cork was removed by TikTok. The video was filmed using Meta’s smart glasses, technology which has been sparking privacy concerns for quite some time.
