For folks like me who are face-blind, an opt-in way to use facial recognition would be hugely valuable -- especially in an environment where it's awkward to keep asking people (who recognize you) their names. But it's critical that this be truly opt-in. https://t.co/N9kZTYcxep

On the one hand, Shazam-but-for-faces is something every reporter who covers Congress has dreamed of. On the other hand, as I keep saying, the coming dystopia will be a robust public/private partnership. https://t.co/CxF0Sxi1V8

SCOOP: Facebook built a facial recognition app that let employees identify people by pointing a smartphone at them. https://t.co/M1CjHPMxXR

— Rob Price (@robaeprice) November 22, 2019

A Facebook spokesperson said its internal facial recognition app only worked on Facebook employees and non-Facebook employees that users were Facebook friends with. But one source said in one early iteration, it worked on anyone. https://t.co/M1CjHPMxXR

The app used Facebook's vast collection of user face data to automatically detect who it was pointed at and displayed their name and Facebook profile picture in real-time. It made available to employees in 2015-16, and has since been discontinued. https://t.co/o80Nyfua0q

비지니스 인사이더, Facebook이 2015년 내부적으로 얼굴 인식 소프트웨어를 만들었다고 보도. 대변인은 사내 실험용으로 DB도 사내 인원으로 한정했다고 주장. 다만 소식통은 외부 자료도 사용했다고 주장. https://t.co/JrDRBp4iKa
