Facebook turned on face recognition silently

So, here&#x27;s the weird catch-22. Or perhaps, the illusion of choice.<p>There are two people who are in a photo. One wishes Facebook to use face recognition, the other does not.<p>Facebook will run face recognition on the photo regardless, but how will they know who wants to be recognized, and who doesn&#x27;t?<p>Simply, they have a model of your face already trained. And they recognize you in photos--you have no say whether or not they will. All this option does is hide the notifications when they do recognize you.

I got nearly the same notification, except mine defaulted to off, it said &quot;This setting is off, but you can turn it on any time&quot;.<p>My guess is that they based the setting on another setting. For example there was some photo tagging thing added <i>years</i> ago, and I disabled that. Most of my timeline and tagging settings are set to Custom or require review.

The fact that they notified you means it wasn&#x27;t exactly silent. I saw this notification and turned it off. I wish it hadn&#x27;t been opt-out and had been an opt-in thing instead.

I think this is notification is sort of the opposite of what people think it is.<p>Facebook has had facial recognition and tag suggestions based on facial recognition for a long time. For example this [1] article from June 2017 explains how to turn it off.<p>This new notification is about a global on&#x2F;off switch that disable all facial recognition, because Facebook is going to start doing more than tag suggestions with facial recognition [2][3]. For example they are trying to detect when people are impersonating you online.<p>The global face recognition setting defaulted to off for me, probably because I had tag suggestions disabled already.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lifewire.com&#x2F;how-to-disable-facebooks-facial-recognition-feature-2487265" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lifewire.com&#x2F;how-to-disable-facebooks-facial-rec...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;newsroom.fb.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017&#x2F;12&#x2F;managing-your-identity-on-facebook-with-face-recognition-technology&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;newsroom.fb.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017&#x2F;12&#x2F;managing-your-identity-...</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.firstpost.com&#x2F;tech&#x2F;news-analysis&#x2F;facebook-face-recognition-optional-tool-is-widely-rolling-out-to-users-but-raises-a-lot-of-concerns-4369533.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.firstpost.com&#x2F;tech&#x2F;news-analysis&#x2F;facebook-face-re...</a>

Russian photographer took photos of random people in the subway in Saint-Petersburg and later could easily find their social network profiles [1] [2]<p>The creators of the app (FindFace) that indexes face data do not have any respect for privacy and boast how good their app is.<p>I think browsers should issue a warning before uploading photo to internet. Maybe then less people will want to publish their photo online.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2016&#x2F;apr&#x2F;14&#x2F;russian-photographer-yegor-tsvetkov-identifies-strangers-facial-recognition-app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2016&#x2F;apr&#x2F;14&#x2F;russian-photog...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;birdinflight.com&#x2F;ru&#x2F;vdohnovenie&#x2F;fotoproect&#x2F;06042016-face-big-data.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;birdinflight.com&#x2F;ru&#x2F;vdohnovenie&#x2F;fotoproect&#x2F;06042016-...</a>

More than a decade ago Mark Zuckerberg said that anyone who gave him a photo of themselves was a &quot;dumb fuck&quot;. His entire plan this whole time has been to do exactly this kind of thing (edit: because he thinks it is profit-maximizing), and he thinks you&#x27;re a dumb fuck (just like me) for uploading your photo to let him use in the maximum-scary-surveillance way.<p>We should all just get off Facebook. The problem is that you can&#x27;t leave even after you &quot;delete&quot; your account, and they have your photos tagged and matched to your email even if you never signed up anyway since all your &quot;dumb fuck&quot; friends gave Mark Zuckerberg their email passwords too - so even if you never sign up, your friends already ratted you out and gave up your email and photos anyway.

&quot;This setting is on, but you can turn it off any time, which applies to features we may add later&quot;.<p>Note the features we may add later part. Facebook is getting creepier by the day.

You can hardly call it &quot;silent&quot; while screenshotting their disclaimer about it.

So link surveillance cameras to the Facebook face recognition and cell phone location data of users and law enforcement will be so much easier.<p>A law enforcement json API

Here’s the press release announcing the new control from December.<p>&gt; People gave us feedback that they would find it easier to manage face recognition through a simple setting, so we’re pairing these tools with a single “on&#x2F;off” control. If your tag suggestions setting is currently set to “none,” then your default face recognition setting will be set to “off” and will remain that way until you decide to change it.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;newsroom.fb.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017&#x2F;12&#x2F;managing-your-identity-on-facebook-with-face-recognition-technology&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;newsroom.fb.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017&#x2F;12&#x2F;managing-your-identity-...</a>

I&#x27;m imaging a Probability Zero or Black Mirror short where Facebook insists some scammer is using your face and attempts to shut them down. They are unable to log into services because they used Facebook login for convenience. In the end, it turns out the imposter randomly had an identical face and was perhaps a long list twin.

If facial recognition bothers you enough to be paranoid, I would highly suggest deleting all Facebook products.

I wish I could activate it once to see all the previous photos of me that aren&#x27;t tagged, then turn it off so it doesn&#x27;t do it in the background. Not that its any safer, but it would make me feel better about it.

Algorithm is good, but not best. Facebook is offering me to tag my dad on my own pictures. :v <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;fqDGS" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;fqDGS</a>

I am still waiting for this feature in the UK, but European courts keep blocking it. It pisses me off: I should be able to opt-in if I want to.

Did anyone else notice that FB mentioned accessibility as one of the reasons that people should opt-in to face recognition? I wonder whether this was something that the FB Accessibility team actually asked for, or whether this is just a do-good sounding excuse for a program that FB wants to (clandestinely, apparently) launch.

Not sure that you can consider the activation silent, given that they prompted people in their news feeds.
praneshp大约 7 年前
Not really silent, right? Unless you meant there was no press coverage about the feature.

I&#x27;m OK with this, under the condition that Facebook only uses it to alert you of photos you likely appear in, i.e. those two first examples of what it can do.<p>I would not allow them to show those results to other people.

I got this notification in my Facebook mobile app with slightly different wording. I went into the settings, and it was turned off.<p>I wonder if they realized they need to show this to all users in order to get some sort of consent.
