FTC to scrutinize new Facebook facial recognition feature

Posted on September 12, 2013 by pogowasright.org

Aurindom Mukherjee and Gerry Shih of Reuters report:

U.S. officials will examine changes to Facebook Inc’s (FB.O) privacy policy to determine whether they violate a 2011 agreement with federal regulators, a Federal Trade Commission spokesman confirmed Wednesday after certain changes drew fire from privacy advocates.

Read more on Yahoo! but don’t get too excited, as the FTC says they routinely monitor Facebook for compliance with the 2011 order and have “no reason to believe” Facebook has violated it.
