I recently discovered that Facebook had decided to remove my 'must approve when I am tagged' - nothing incriminating, just reminders of their abuse.
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"

Yeah. Can't wait for my facebook using mates to make my shadow profile more accurate.
This could revolutionize the Facebook signup process. Instead of entering all that pesky personal information, just snap a pic with your webcam. They already know all that info!

This is incorrect. Read the entire post and realize that Facebook has been using Face.com's tech for facial tagging already.

The problem is this: What if I don't have an account, but somebody still happens to tag my face with my name, for whatever reason?

(If not immediately, a little story about an "ongoing investigation" should push them over the edge.) It's going to work the same way on the Internet. It's a little scary, but I prefer to think about the good applications rather than the bad applications. Havin…
This is an advantage? This is what you're willing to give up your privacy for?
Shameless plug here: http://search.labs.face.com - a site we developed for face.com lets you scan for faces all your Facebook photos and do some interesting searches on them, like "smiling child, female with glasses" etc.
So I'm guessing the whole face.com acquisition was to increase awareness of context of photos?
