It doesn't work that way. They can see that you tag wrong too many people, and you're obviously an outlier, so your data is rejected. The only way you can "win" is by deleting facebook and pushing for better data protection laws.
by deleting facebook They still have your photos in their training set
You can't undo the past but you can safeguard the future.
Besides, if facebook goes bankrupt with heavy legislation demanding the destruction of user data and not allowing their exchange as assets, they will eventually be deleted, along with their training set and everything else. Your biometrics aren't coming back, but at least only the government will have them.

This is too real. Every beautiful woman I know actively fights to keep their images offline, because of these clueless assholes.
I'm not particularly beautiful these days. I did see myself that way in my youth. My personal opinion of my youthful experiences has changed some. My mother placed a high value on clothes and I have a good eye for some things and I was surrounded by people who liked me and were good with a camera. An awful lot of so called beauty is manufactured. I am not comfortable with you characterizing me as a beautiful woman. I…

I find that a little bit sad. Both of my parents have passed away (fairly young), and they were somewhat camera-shy when they were alive (not for the same reasons you are, but the result is the same). I have barely a handful of photos of them, and that's often a source of disappointment and sadness for me. I get that rampant data collection is unacceptable, and companies are terribly poor stewards of our personal dat…
Just as a curious observation, i wonder whether that sadness and disappointment would have been around before cameras and photos were invented. After all, there was of course a time when no one had photos of their parents or their family.
Good point. It's hard to be sad about something that doens't exist and you can't fathom as a possible technology. Commissioning painted portraits were certainly a thing before photography, but I assume you had to be decently well off to afford that, and of course that's going to capture you in a staged setting, nothing remotely candid.
