Hamburg’s Data Protection Agency says Facebook should get users’ consent before their biometric data is stored. Facebook enabled the facial recognition feature in December in the U.S. and has now rolled it out in most countries. Users can opt out of the feature within the privacy settings on their Facebook accounts. Facebook says its users like the photo tag suggest feature, “which makes it easier and safer for them to manage their online identities” If the two sides can’t reach an agreement, the DPA could fine Facebook up to 300,000 (US$426,000)”]
