Facebook Frolics, Playing Creepy Tag Dept. 0
Facebook’s facial recognition feature is one of the creepiest of may creepy things Facebook does.
The feature was identified by regulators as one of the main privacy threats posed by the social networking site.
The story implies that this is only for Europe and that Facebook plans to find some way to turn the feature back by sneaking some kind of “user consent” past the regulators. If they do, no doubt they will turn it on, change everybody’s settings, bury the facial recognition settings many fathoms deep, and dare users to find it.
That’s just how they roll.
