  1. Nice tips! Face recognition software is awesome for law enforcement, but privacy issues and concerns are growing all the time. Thanks for the info.

  2. Thank you very much for the info. Being tagged is annoying!

  3. Nice states. Thanks for the handy steps and instructions on how to disable face-tagging – not everyone on Facebook would know about it. Personally, I loved the last part the most “Simple steps for combating the unwanted…”. Will look forward to more on this.
