Facebook users will be notified every time their face is uploaded to the platform, even if it is not tagged.
The new facial recognition feature will not apply to users in the European Union or Canada, where privacy regulators have prevented the use of such technology.
The social network said the new option was
"empowering" users. But critics voiced concern about how open Facebook was in other ways that it gathered data. "We want people to feel confident when they post
pictures of themselves on Facebook, so we'll soon begin using face recognition technology to let people know when someone else uploads a photo of them as their profile picture," Facebook said in a statement.
Facebook has been using the technology since 2010, when the company began offering suggestions for whom to tag in a photo. For the new feature, Facebook creates a template of a person's face by analysing pixels from existing photos and comparing them to newly uploaded
images.
Users who do not want to take part can opt out in their privacy settings.

But really I don't think this is good for privacy. I personally have my laptop cam covered with black paper tape.
