Facebook introduces new facial recognition, privacy features
London
FACEBOOK Inc is introducing new facial recognition features that will automatically notify users when their photo is posted on the social network, the company said in a blog post on Tuesday.
The new features are being rolled out in the face of growing pressure on the company from regulators in Europe, the US and elsewhere who have criticised Facebook for spreading fake news, fostering hate speech, eroding civil discourse and trampling privacy rights. The facial recognition technology could help combat some abusive conduct on the network, the company said, although it may also raise additional privacy concerns.
