It hasn’t even been a week since Facebook announced that it changed its brand name to Meta. But the surprise news from the company continues. Now, it has been announced that the face recognition feature on Facebook will be shut down due to “increasing social concerns” and increasing reviews. Those who choose the facial recognition system will no longer be recognized in videos and photos, and the personal facial recognition templates of more than a billion people will be deleted. ,
This improvement also means that the Auto Alt Text feature, which creates image descriptions for visually impaired people, will no longer include the names of people they know in photos.
Facebook will no longer send a warning when someone shares a video or photo of you on social media. Suggestions for people to mark in photos will no longer appear.
Turning off the warning system also eliminates the possibility of people whose photos or videos are shared without their permission to notice and report it to be removed. This may pose a problem in terms of personal data security.
Facebook has announced that the relevant change will take effect in a few weeks.
