Facebook enables Facial Recognition

   Facebook photos now have facial recognition strategy. The tagging is still done by your friends, but the facial recognition software detects your face and pushes it in an advert-like style to the right hand side of your friends’ screen. Facebook does not allow you to pre-approve tags; only the ability to remove tags once they have been tagged.
   Here’s how to check the setting to make sure it is how you want it to be:

  1. Go into your Facebook privacy settings.
  2. Click Customise settings.
  3. Under Suggest photos of me to friends, click Edit settings.
  4. Facebook automatically enables this feature. On the dialog box, select whether you want the feature to be enabled or not. Click Disable if you do not want it.
  5. Press Okay.
