Facebook Urges Europeans To Turn On Facial Recognition By Sending Notifications - Latest Hacking News

Users of Facebook from Europe have been reporting that Facebook is sending continuous push notifications to turn on the facial recognition feature. A journalist from Metro named Jimmy Nsubuga has reported that he is getting continuous notifications from Facebook to turn on the facial recognition technology. The company advised that an opt-in option would be pushed to users as part of changes to its terms and conditions within the EU.
