Facebook has a number of
features meant to enhance the networking experience for users, but the
problem is that in developing many of these features Facebook
continually chooses to implement them as a default setting, forcing
users to have to opt-out of participation rather than allowing them to
opt-in.
The latest addition is the
global roll out of the facial recognition feature that is designed to
automatically make an attempt to recognize faces in photos submitted by
members and make “tagging suggestions”.
The new face recognition feature
in Facebook can intelligently suggests the name of the friends for
automatic picture tagging. The new feature is called Tag Suggestion
where Facebook tries to automatically identify the faces in the uploaded
photos based on the other photos where the people are tagged in.
Therefore, you could be tagged by Facebook automatically when your
friend uploads photos that contain your face in it.
Well, it might be a helpful
feature to reduce the chore of photo tagging but here are the steps for
you to disable Facebook’s facial recognition for your profile if you are
not comfortable with this feature:
- Login to Facebook.
- Click at “Account” link from the top right corner and select “Account Settings” upon login.
- Click the “manage” link under the “Privacy” section.
- Click “Customize Settings” link from the Privacy Settings page.
- Click “Edit Settings” button from the “Suggest photos of me to friends” under the “Things others share” section.
- Select “Disabled” from the dropdown menu from the popped up window.
- Click the “Okay” button and you are done.
