Facebook has implemented facial recognition on its platform, and all you have to do is sign over your face.

It will also work to prevent cat-fishing and revenge porn by alerting you when your face is in someone else’s profile picture. Finally, the features will allow visually impaired users to identify who is pictured with them.
