I recently discovered that Facebook had decided to remove my 'must approve when I am tagged' - nothing incriminating, just reminders of their abuse.
I agree with you. But I think the majority of fb users would disagree.
Disagree that they reversed a setting I put in place isn't abuse?

Why do you say that? It seems like a generally unwanted feature. At most I'd think most fb users won't notice or care.
If it's true, a notification would have been nice. Or changing the setting back only for people who haven't specifically looked at and increased their privacy settings in the past
But then they'd be directly acknowledging the abuse, and then you could quickly change it back - however they want pictures to be tagged of you and to become public so they can be shared to everyone who they think will engage / comment on them, etc..

So I'm guessing the whole face.com acquisition was to increase awareness of context of photos?
Re: Face.com acquired by Facebook
#75$80-100m is far far too cheap. I think face.com made a poor decision here. Facebook will now be able to develop a system that will be able to recognize faces in any future or past photos (obviously including the 100s of billions they already have) and to link that face to a name and a bunch of demographic data. 3-5 years down the line, this ability will be incredibly powerful (think Minority Report, HUD overlays etc).

#76Interesting. I didn't realize they were based out of Tel Aviv.

#77So the next hot facebook app will be a photo tool to make your face unrecognizable by facial recognition software.

#78This marks the beginning of a new era of facial recognition in social media, which is essentially a labour saving innovation so that you won't have to spend all that time tagging your facebook photos. Instead, you'll spend all that time untagging them.

This is simply incorrect.
Go to privacy settings, timeline and tagging, and change "review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline"

#79Just waiting for Facebook to announce their purchase of skynet.com now and then Facebook should have the market well and truly cornered.
