Facebook’s privacy scandals are well-known to all of us. The social media giant has been less-than-forthcoming in its practices, but an FTC inquiry into Facebook is now leading to much more transparency and feature improvements. The latest is the expansion of facial recognition to all of its users, killing the previously well-known tag suggestions setting.
Further, talking about user privacy, the social media giant goes on to state that, “We’ve made the steps to update your settings clearer and you can opt to leave your setting off right in the notice, as opposed to having to go to a separate screen. If you’ll do nothing, face recognition will remain off for you.” This means you can avoid facial recognition AI without even toying with the settings, which is great news.
