Facebook considers adding profile photos to facial recognition database
http://j.mp/1fnmQGM (Guardian)
"Facial recognition technology has been a sensitive issue for
technology companies, raising concerns among some privacy advocates
and government officials. Tag suggest, which the company introduced in
2011, is not available in Europe due to concerns raised by regulators.
Google's social network, Google+, also employs similar technology, but
requires user consent. And it has banned third-party software makers
from using facial recognition technology in apps designed for its
Glass wearable computer."
