 Hello everyone! This is a video tutorial from the Electronic Frontier Foundation to walk you through how to disable Facebook's new photo tagging suggestion feature, and to let you know about some other Facebook privacy settings related to photo tagging. The new tagging suggestion feature works by using facial recognition technology to examine photos in which you've already been tagged, and then creating what Facebook calls your photo summary or photo comparison information, or what we'll call your facial fingerprint. Using this information, Facebook will suggest your name to your friends when they upload photos that you appear in, and will invite them to tag you in those photos. In this video, we'll talk about three ways to get Facebook to delete your facial fingerprint data, and we'll show you a privacy setting that lets you ensure that you're the only person who can see tags identifying you in photographs. So, let's get started. First, select Privacy Settings from the Account drop-down menu. Then, click on the Customize Settings link under the Sharing on Facebook heading. Scroll down to the category of settings called Things Others Share. There, you will see a setting called Suggest Photos of Me to Friends. Click on Edit Settings. The setting will, unless you have visited it previously, be set to Enabled. Select Disabled. After you do this, Facebook will no longer suggest that you be tagged in new photos. According to Facebook representatives, it will also result in the deletion of your facial fingerprint data. In order to be doubly sure that the data is deleted, however, we recommend that you take a second step. Click on the Learn More link in the bottom left corner of the box. This will take you to the Photo Tagging section of the Facebook Health Center. Scroll down and click on the very last topic heading. How can I remove the summary information stored about me for tag suggestions? Click on Contact Us. And then, click OK to send the resulting message to Facebook. Facebook will then send you a confirmation email to let you know they've received and complied with your request. A third, much less efficient way that you can prevent Facebook from creating and storing a facial fingerprint of you is by untagging yourself in all photos where you have been tagged. Remember, though, you'll have to continue to remove new tags as they are added if you want to prevent a new facial fingerprint from being created. And there you go. You have now disabled the tag suggestions feature and deleted Facebook's facial fingerprint of you. However, if you are still concerned about the impact of photo tags on your privacy, we have one more tip for you. Although Facebook does not offer a setting by which you can prevent people from tagging you, there is a setting that can be used to prevent anyone but you from seeing those tags. So, go back to the Privacy Settings page. Click Customize Settings. And go back to that Things Others Share category. There, you will find a setting for Photos and Videos You're Tagged In. Click Edit Settings. From the dropdown menu, choose Custom. In the Custom Privacy pop-up, select the option for Only Me. If you choose this option, no one but you will be able to see tags identifying you in photographs. Note, however, you can also customize this setting so that only friends or only a subset of friends can see tags of you. And there you go. You've now disabled the tag suggestions feature, deleted your facial fingerprint, and taken control of who can see photo tags of you.
