How to disable Facebook facial recognition ...

Facebook has recently decided to delete the Face Recognition Data of European users, because of privacy issues.

The goal of the current face recognition technology helps Facebook users tagging friends in photos. Unfortunately, carried out by some commentators tests found that the technology is less accurate.

Facebook facial recognition to improve over time, and this will probably be more applications for this technology. As the technology evolves and matures, some people who face detection, the data harmless information, but others are likely to privacy issues with how it is used and protects the data have.

If you think that the face recognition is the best thing since sliced bread or just think it's creepy, you can disable the privacy settings until you., You select how you made about them

How to disable Facebook facial recognition?

1 Once you have logged into your Facebook account, click the white triangle next to the Start button in the upper right corner of the screen.

February. Click on "Privacy Settings" from the drop down menu.

Three. On the page that opens, scroll down to the "Mounting and labeling" section and click "Edit Settings'.

April. When the dialog box "Timeline and labeling", scroll to the "Who sees tag suggestions when photos that look like you downloaded" open.

May Select "No One" on the right "who sees Proposal tags when images are downloaded as you." The other option is to see your friends-to-day suggestions. No option to "everyone".

6 Click the "Done" button.

What data use Facebook to say that the picture looks like you and suggest that you mark your photos of your friends?

According to the Facebook page, there are two types of information to an image you just downloaded looks like someone who was previously marked in Facebook propose automatically:

Facebook page:

"About the photos you marked - If you have selected a photo, associate labels to your account, to compare what these photos have tagged and store a summary of this comparison, if you have never been marking a photo together. Facebook or not in all the photos of you has on facebook, this summary information was not created or stored for you.

By comparing the new photos on the information in the pictures that you tagged stored - If you or your friends upload images, it can automatically have the summary information about what we have selected photos stored together, to compare. The results of this comparison can also opt for group photos or photos that they want to suggest, are used. You and your friends always have the option to ignore these recommendations. We do not associate the image with these proposals, if your friend registers. When friends do not check, I informed automatically, and you can turn off if you do not like the photo, or do not want marked. "

Currently seems photo-tagging, the only thing that Facebook uses facial recognition to be, but you can probably change in the future because other applications this data. I'm sure we can all different scenarios of "Big Brother" who took part in many Hollywood movies like Eagle Eye and others, but for now, the technology has a long way to go before achieving something as imagine, ambitious and frightening.

The best advice for every Facebook privacy problem you may have is to see your privacy settings at least once a month if there is not something to check what you want, and select is.
