Give me physical opt-out. A "robots.txt"/do-not-track for computer surveillance spiders. Let me wear a necklace or QR code on my shoulder, and any commercial face tracking software, is required to create a big black blindspot where my facial micro-expressions used to be.

And then the minute it even isn't slightly visible, Facebook et al will likely take that as you consenting.

The implication that everyone is forced to do something, forever, in order to not have their privacy violated, is a little silly. Explicit opt-ins should be the only legal method.
