Facebook and Faces

So apparently Facebook tells you who is in your pictures based on facial recognition now. I was unaware. That is terrifying. I find the technological advances fascinating and fantastic, and I really don't think this as much of a privacy issue as some are making it out to be, as any user can disable the feature, which only recommends those who are already friends with whoever uploads a given picture, at that. Creepability is fairly low with this little detail, and I feel that it's very important for people to realize that if they don't do stupid things (such as bring a camera while doing stupid things) then there should be next to no reason to worry about such a matter. This new little tidbit from Zuckerburg is featured here.

I agree. They're using this tool to make facebook more users friendly, no to humiliate or expose them. This may make people think twice about their actions, but they should be doing that already.
