Facebook launched a special face recognition system for employees

Facebook has developed a new face recognition system for its employees. This face recognition system is currently only available for the internal staff of Facebook. The purpose of development is to help their employees confirm the identity of their friends and prevent impersonation. Of course, this requires the friend to agree to face recognition before it can be used. This face recognition works by storing the face recognition database of employees and their friends in advance and then comparing the face images with the system data.

The system will obviously cause a big controversy after being reported by the media. After all, even Facebook employees do not seem to need to use this means to confirm their identity. But after all, this system is only used inside Facebook, so people are willing to do it, but Facebook also plans to develop a face recognition system for all ordinary users. This system is similar to that used by Facebook employees to confirm the identity of a friend. It is said that this new version has been developed and tested for some users. The controversy is not used to confirm the identity of the user, but people are worried that Facebook can identify anyone’s personal data after collecting face recognition data.

These reports on the media first emphasize that the current face recognition system is only for the internal staff of Facebook and the friends of Facebook employees. As for the reason for building this system, Facebook only means that it is used to test new technologies. Since it is a test, Facebook only allows its internal employees to use it. Facebook denied that it is developing a face recognition system for all ordinary users, and the company said it has no plans to push the test system to all users. At the same time, the company also stressed that Facebook is currently reducing the number of face recognitions on its social network, and if not necessary, it does not require users to chose to use it. In addition, Facebook also said that the user’s face recognition data will not be shared with third parties, but considering the recent privacy of Facebook, it is estimated that this is also awkward.
