Disclaimer: Many of you already know how I feel about facebooook. If you disagree with this new feature, make sure you update your profile...and hope that can stop 'el diablo.'
The Electronic Privacy Information Center said yesterday that it will file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission about Facebook Inc.’s use of facial-recognition technology.
“When you or a friend upload new photos, we use face recognition software . . . to match your new photos to other photos you’re tagged in,’’ Justin Mitchell, a Facebook engineer, said in a Facebook blog. “We group similar photos together and, whenever possible, suggest the name of the friend in the photos.’’
