Rome, 9 November (LaPresse) – "To claim that there is a correlation between my participation in the event called ComoLake on 16 October 2024 and the meetings held on that occasion, including one with a Meta executive (and on dozens of occasions at conferences with representatives of companies, banks, industries, associations and professions) and the discussion in the Board on 17 October 2024 on the RayBan-Smart glasses measure misrepresents, once again, the reality of the facts as documented." Thus Agostino Ghiglia, member of the Privacy Guarantor, in a note commenting on Report's investigation into smart glasses. “To insinuate maliciously and erroneously through preview reels and probably in tonight's episode of Report that I had any role in a possible redetermination of the sanction,” adds Ghiglia, 'is pure fabrication with defamatory intent. On 17 October 2024, the Offices proposed to the Board that additions and amendments be made to the text of the measure in light of the new information received from Europe (on 7 October) regarding the classification of smart glasses in general (an all-encompassing term for hundreds of devices with different characteristics). The Board took note of this and, at that time, no one could have known about the possible redetermination of the penalty. These are the facts and documents; the rest is sensationalist scandal-mongering. To address another misleading “gem” evoked and anticipated by some newspapers, I must point out that the offices of the Guarantor carefully check our expenses, deducting any that do not fall within their interpretation of our reimbursements from the following month's payments. The documentation proving the above is, of course, available," concludes Ghiglia.
