In Europe after all the stuff they just went through implementing the new privacy stuff for them? Someone must have missed the memo.

You assume someone missed a memo and it wasn't intentional.

Facebook is very good at missing memos. It makes them quite a bit of money.

am I the only one who is cynical enough to think that they might be doing the face recognition already for a while. its that with GDPR they may have to disclose it so they are making a pretext that we just enabled it please feel free to opt out now that we have trained our models anyways.
