It doesn't work that way. They can see that you tag wrong too many people, and you're obviously an outlier, so your data is rejected. The only way you can "win" is by deleting facebook and pushing for better data protection laws.

You won't do it alone, but if most of your friends start doing that, either you mess up their training dataset by introducing a lot of noise, or you all will get flagged as outliers. Both situations are win comparing to learned helplessness one might fall into when realizing the ways how this data can be misused.

  Right now the systems in public domain reach 97% accuracy. Facebook doesn't need you, even if you get a million people to try to "trick" the system, you won't do anything. The verification is to fine-tune it. By the way, you forget that Facebook can simply exclude almost all those who know about this. What are you going to do? Do you think nobody will notice the 10M user fan page themed "Fool facebooks AI"? It just knows an extra thing about you, that you don't want to be tracked, so it'll hide news about tracking from your feed.

    We already know Uber is cherry-picking users it suspects as working for competitors, so precedent is set for what you are suggesting. It's doable obviously, and if it's doable, companies have already either implemented it or having somebody working on it.

  You can't undo the past but you can safeguard the future. Besides, if facebook goes bankrupt with heavy legislation demanding the destruction of user data and not allowing their exchange as assets, they will eventually be deleted, along with their training set and everything else. Your biometrics aren't coming back, but at least only the government will have them.
