Facebook’s Push for Facial Recognition Prompts Privacy Alarms
“Face recognition technology allows us to help protect you from a stranger using your photo to impersonate you,” Facebook told its users in Europe.
It was a risky move by the social network. >>>Six years earlier, it had deactivated the technology in Europe after regulators there raised questions about its facial recognition consent system.<<<
Now, Facebook was reintroducing the service as part of an update of its user permission process in Europe.

I just am not fond of the idea of unrestrained face recognition cameras everywhere, nor the building of a data base for them.
The Mac photo program has an area where it performs facial recognition and lets you pick out people to identify in your folders. It appears to be a convenience and can be a helpful thing if you are trying to find photos of a particular person in a large collection, but I see now that perhaps we are identifying people, and Apple may have those faces - now identified - for their own purposes. Chilling.
