I got nearly the same notification, except mine defaulted to off, it said "This setting is off, but you can turn it on any time". My guess is that they based the setting on another setting. For example there was some photo tagging thing added years ago, and I disabled that. Most of my timeline and tagging settings are set to Custom or require review.
The fact that they notified you means it wasn't exactly silent. I saw this notification and turned it off. I wish it hadn't been opt-out and had been an opt-in thing instead.

Google Photos has had it on for years -- not sure what the big deal here is?!?
Facebook's is platform-wide, and you don't have the option of tagging faces but not assigning them to you or to specific people.
The creators of the app (FindFace) that indexes face data do not have any respect for privacy and boast how good their app is.
I think browsers should issue a warning before uploading photo to internet. Maybe then less people will want to publish their photo online.

True, there is nothing stopping them from running this in the background to make additional linkages between people and places to sell to third parties without having to share where those linkages come from.
