A video of Shubnam, who identifies as transfeminine, telling a social media content creator to “f*** off” at a trans rights protest on March 29, 2026, at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar grounds went viral after being recorded without their knowledge or consent using Meta’s AI Ray-Ban smart glasses. The clip was filmed by Instagram content creator Parley (@parley.96), who specialises in ragebait pranks, and posted in late May. Instagram’s algorithm propelled the post, triggering transphobic hate and memes, including AI-generated images likening Shubnam to a Hindi animated cartoon named ‘Ganji Chudail’. Several right-wing pro-Hindutva X accounts shared the clip, which had over five million views on Instagram alone before the platform deleted it in late June. On July 20, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Sandeep Lamba – filmed slapping a woman protester during the march to Parliament, and since removed from the Jantar Mantar protest site – was seen wearing smart glasses at the protest site. Shubnam’s ordeal illustrates how wearable tech can facilitate abuse of vulnerable groups.
