Whether you want it to happen or not is inconsequential, it's going to happen.

  Only if everyone allows it to.

    Of anyone can start scraping images and do facial recognition, then they don't need permission.

      That's not necessarily true. Anyone can copy and distribute movies right now, but you need permission to do it. If you don't have that permission, you're taking the risk of being on the wrong end of legal action. Sure, it's not perfect, but it does have a restraining effect and, more importantly, it provides an avenue for recourse. A similar thing could be done for scraping images and doing face recognition. It only takes the political will.
