Facebook Tackles Face-Recognition Privacy Concern

Although it took an Attorney General getting involved to get Facebook to change its policy on facial recognition, at least it is done and over with. Well, at least until the next privacy snafu.

Facebook has since met with Jepsen, and this month began running ads on users' home pages telling them about the feature and allowing them to count themselves out of its use entirely. Should users opt out, any facial recognition data that had been collected will be deleted.
