By turning on Find My Face, Google+ can prompt people you know to tag your face when it appears in photos. Of course, you have control over which tags you accept or reject, and you can turn the feature on or off in Google+ settings.”
According to Matt Steiner, the new Find My Face will be rolling out over the next few days.
It may be recalled that Facebook had drawn a lot of flak from the critics for its facial recognition feature. The social networking site recently admitted making “a bunch of mistakes” on the privacy front and vowed to overhaul its policy. The U.S.-based Federal Trade Commissio had directed Facebook to obtain consumers’ affirmative express consent before enacting changes that override their privacy preferences.
