We all know that many privacy-sensitive people freaked out when facebook launched its face recognition feature. It automatically identifies faces and asks you the identity of same. There was much chaos over this feature. So when Google plus launched this feature couple of days ago it was natural to think that if this was right. But google followed a different approach here. Google have seen the condition of Facebook and doesn't want to come under the thumb of FTC , it comes out with a new idea.
It launches "Find my Face" feature so that individual user can set whether they want this feature or not ,unlike facebook which turned it on for all users.
if you turned this feature on then google plus will find all your photos uploaded by your friends and will suggest them to tag you in them.
Google says the tags will only appear to “people who interact with that user.” Petrosky said it will include people “we think you know,” based on “a circling relationship, or bi-circling relationship, or if you’ve emailed back and forth with someone in Gmail.” he also said that album sharing, previous tagging etc. will decide who can see your photos. they also emphasised that main focus will be on mutual circle relationship . they are introducing this feature slowly so it is not available to many user yet.
Petrosky said the company is generally being very careful about rolling out facial recognition. Company executives have previously said that Google could have included identity searching in Google Goggles, allowing users to take a photo of someone and then have Google search for that person’s name.
