I don't like the Facebook facial recognition thing either. Or when someone tags me on photos that they have uploaded. I think its creepy when someone else posts my photo, then I start getting comments on it. This should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Talk to your law makers, asking them to copy EU law?

I'm pretty sure you can disable tags from other people.

  Not if you don't have an account.

    There's nothing stopping someone from making a website, putting up pictures of you and putting your name next to them. Whether you have a facebook account or not.

I believe you can set permissions so that you have to approve any photo that is tagged with you in it.

  They quietly removed that option and now only allow you to restrict it from your timeline (requires you to approve). You still need to manually remove the tag. Annoying.

    Of course it's annoying. Facebook wants you to feel pain whenever you try to manage your own social presence in a way they can't monetize.

      again, that's only for the timeline. You are still tagged.

I too yearn for the good old days when I had a chance to approve every photo uploaded to Flickr.
