Disclaimer: I have never owned an Apple product, and I haven't used Facebook for roughly a decade.
Apple have been doing face recognition for a while now, arguably at a similar scale, but their use case is pretty straightforward. With FB face recognition is not the real concern, it's the fact they have been caught misusing personal data multiple times.

- SavantIdiot 5y agoWhere does apple do it? They do it in iPhoto but it is based on what you tell it, and is opt out. Where else?
