Bit if A, bit of B.
People don't care that much, but also don't realise the implications that would make them care marginally more in some instances.
Google already have millions of face tags from Picasa, etc.; Facebook has had image tagging for ages; ... governments already have all that data from passports and driving licensee and ID cards ... so why not give it up again. It's a drop in the ocean situation.
Russia having my face data is likely to make much less difference to me than someone in UK having it, which might also make people not care. [But of course they can sell the data on.]
