It is a choice. I choose to turn off facial recognition and continue to use my Facebook account. I find some values in using Facebook, just as I find both open source and closed source each exists with its own value.
- slavik81 11y agoIts way too much work to keep up with privacy changes, though. Imagine I didn't read HN. Would I actually notice the implications when they rolled the update out to my phone? I'm not sure. That's why I think I'll be uninstalling Facebook.

- yeukhon 11y agoNo I completely agree with you that this is an aggressive move on FB's part. The feature is great as a product idea, but from an actual usability standpoint the implementation is really bad because there are so many photos I don't think my friends would want to see and would probably embarrass them if those photos appear on public timeline. I think the idea was to reduce the chore of asking "hey who has the picture of me from yesterday's trip." Only thing is, I still find some values of using Facebook, so to suck it up I am submitting myself to the product, and decides to work around.
- aikah 11y ago> It is a choice. I choose to turn off facial recognition and continue to use my Facebook account Facebook as a good history of making some "features" opt-out. Tomorrow it could enable "auto-sharing", you wouldn't even notice. So yes it is a choice, until it is not. The only real choice here is to use or not to use facebook.
