I thought facebook has face recognition software?

They've hit a new low... http://o.canada.com/2013/09/17/rehta...dvertisements/

If their face-rec software worked they would have caught this right away, I get the feeling they really don't care, and probably love the press, good or bad.

I haven't noticed those them. I usually don't pay attention to them anyway.

The girl in the picture killed herself after she was ganged raped and bullied about it online.

Was the girl's Facebook profile picture used?

I find this policy disturbing. Do you think they will update this now?

At Facebook, as with all other social networking sites, you are not the customer. You are the product.

Yes. I know. That's why I don't have a Facebook account.

My wife has an account, but her profile page has most of her face blocked by our dog's face, and we don't have all our personal stuff out there.

The photo recognition stuff is getting kind of scary. My cousin got married last week and put up some big group pictures of all the people who attended. The peoples faces in the photos were really small, but facebook recognized nearly all of them.

When I realised I was the product @ FB I stopped using the account I tried to delete it but it kept returning. So reading in the OP's link that FB permanently deleted the offending account I'm wondering why mine can't be?

Not only was the account NOT deleted, after placing FB in my ISPs SPAM filter, they kept breaking through (with the same details that are meant to block them) until I advised my ISP if I get one more I will migrate to another ISP. It was done within an hr of the complaint.
