Serious question: I kind of liked how Facebook found people in my photos. Is there room for such a feature in a privacy conscious world?
You need to ask the other question: Do they like it when HB tags them in yours and everyone else's photos?

#12Hey you remember all those times we analyzed you photos, and those times we did things we said we wouldn't? We totally aren't going to do those now. We are "Meta" not the evil Facebook, trust us. "Meta" has never lied to you, right?

#14Yet another useful technology going away because the activist media threw a five year temper tantrum over Trump being elected (which was mostly their fault in the first place)

#17Slightly off-topic but I deleted my Instagram yesterday. I was really holding out for one person who almost refuses to talk to me on any non-FB property but...oh well. I'm glad to be rid of it, but I can't shake that it's somewhat meaningless and I'll miss the many content creators I followed who have earned my business. I wonder if there's some way to follow them in a way not tied to my identity.
