Logging in today, from europe, I received a modal about some updates. It stated that there are some updates i'll need to review: One of them, the facial recognition feature. """ Here's what we'll ask you to review: An option for turning on face recognition """ Full modal can be seen here: https://img1.picload.org/image/dogcpgci/selection_122.jpg https://img1.picload.org/image/dogcpgci/selection_122.jpg Clicking Get Started I received some information on GDPR and their data usage: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprra/selection_123.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprra/selection_123.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprrl/selection_124.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprrl/selection_124.jpg Clicking "Manage Data Settings" I was given some examples on data usage: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprri/selection_126.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprri/selection_126.jpg Clicking "Continue" I received this modal, with 3 datapoints that are used. https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprrw/selection_127.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprrw/selection_127.jpg Obviously, Facebook processes more data than these three. It has never really been a dating app and that is definitely not one of their main focuses. Anyway, I went on to remove my "Interested in" datapoint. Prompting an "are you sure" modal: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprdr/selection_128.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprdr/selection_128.jpg After clicking remove this single datapoint was removed: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprda/selection_129.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprda/selection_129.jpg I expected this flow to continue, but looks like that was it. I decided to stop here and not "Accept with changes". There was NO chance to opt-out of the facial recognition program: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprdl/selection_130.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcprdl/selection_130.jpg They're obviously trying to go with "these three groups of data are protected and need opt-in". The rest, yeah - we need that to provide the service. I also have another tab open, that works, so I'm not really blocked from using the site. At-least for now. Edit: opening Facebook in new tabs, no longer starts this modal, even though I haven't accepted the new changes. --------------------------------------------------------- Edit 2: Went looking, and googling, trying to opt-out of the facial recognition program. Here are the options I have under Privacy: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapr/selection_131.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapr/selection_131.jpg Here are the options I have under "Your Facebook information": https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapa/selection_132.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapa/selection_132.jpg Clicking "view" under Managing your information I get this very (un)helpful help page: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapl/selection_133.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapl/selection_133.jpg Choosing Facebook I get these options: https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapi/selection_134.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcpapi/selection_134.jpg Choosing "Change my face recognition settings", the send button is still disabled, but I get this very helpful link to "also edit your face recognition settings", the link points to "https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=facerec" https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=facerec", but actually takes me back to my "General Account Settings": https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcporl/selection_136.jpg https://img3.picload.org/image/dogcporl/selection_136.jpg As far as I can understand, there is no way to change face recognition settings in the flow I received from the A/B testing gods. Might have something to do with me not agreeing to the changes in the first modal.
