Facebook’s Face Problem

June 9th, 2011

In case you haven’t noticed, Facebook recently added a feature to photo uploading that suggests tags for those photos based on face-recognition software. It’s sorta creepy and occasionally humorous, but it doesn’t strike me as any big deal. Other disagree and feel that it is a big deal, as the Guardian reports.

As ElmerPhudd notes in the comments section of the above article: If you’re at all concerned about being among the names suggested, you can always turn the feature off at Account > Privacy Settings > Customize settings > Things others share > Suggest photos of me to friends.
