But their facial recognition is not opt-in. You cannot prevent other people from uploading photos of you then tagging your face in them, training Facebook's facial recognition to your face even if you consciously never upload your image a single time.

- bduerst 5y agoI get what you're saying but that's unguided learning though. Facebook doesn't have any way of linking that face fingerprint to you to even check your consent - but a part of me doubts that when they do make the link they remove the fingerprint bc you didn't opt in.
- slownews45 5y agoYou can only be suggested as a name for someone else's photo if you've turned face recognition on. "If you’d like other people to see tag suggestions for you, you’ll need to turn on your face recognition setting." So you need to opt in to it to let others tag you.

- bryan_w 5y agoYou got the algorithm backwards, if slownews45 uploads a pic, the system gathers all of their friends who opted in and compares any found faces to the templates of the opted in folks. If it doesn't get a hit, it simply moves on
