Facebook is now offering facial-recognition features to all of its users, but says it will keep the capabilities turned off by default

Tuesday, Facebook said facial recognition will be off for all new users -— unless they opt to turn it on — as well as for existing users who do nothing in response to a forthcoming alert about the new settings. This means facial recognition won't be used by default to recognize a user in photos or videos, or to suggest their friends tag them in such content.

Facebook said those who don't already have the feature will soon receive a notice in their news feeds about the change, along with an option to keep it off or turn it on.
