Facebook on Tuesday announced that it will be putting an end to its face recognition system amid growing concern from users and regulators.

 

The social network, whose parent company is now known as Meta, said it will delete more than 1 billion people’s individual facial recognition templates as a result of this change. The company said more than a third of Facebook’s daily active users, or more than 600 million accounts, had opted into the use of the face recognition technology.

 

With the end of this system, Facebook will no longer automatically recognize people’s faces in photos or videos. The change, however, will also impact the automatic alt text technology that the company uses to describe images for people who are blind or visually impaired. Facebook services that rely on the face recognition systems will be removed over the coming weeks, Meta said.

How do so many of these chucklefucks seem to forget that in the technological future fiction they love referencing, the corpos are the villains?

 

It’s like bragging about forging a magic ring in a volcano, how you really put your heart and soul into it, and that nobody will want to take it off.

 

The corpos can get away with it because in this story we are the Orcs: unruly followers obsessed with in fighting.
