Are photo databases naturally public, e.g. can anyone create a photo database and publish it like wikipedia? How about storing for private use against a public facial recognition cloud service? Do citizens have a right to be forgotten in such a database? Do different countries legal systems, precedent case law and constitutions have the same answers to these questions?

These are good questions, and I only have an answer about which I'm confident to one of these:
> Do citizens have a right to be forgotten in such a database?
No. The idea of a "right to be forgotten" is an effort to manipulate the memories of other people, and that's not a right at all. I have a right to remember you. I have right to tell other people what I remember of you.
This is essential for collective social and political action.

I believe there's a site somewhere on the internet that was originally premised on being "a book of faces"...

They usually depend on users to upload photos.
