And also, I'm sure the goalposts have moved a lot in the 3-5 years since this feature was announced.
At the time, facial recognition was almost sci-fi levels of absurd to envision, especially at scale. Nowadays, anyone can do their own facial recognition on laptop-level GPUs from freely-available open source software and every site that can use it, probably does use it in some form.
It's a lot more normalized now than it was.
