Facebook tables plans to use member's faces in ads

Facebook, considering some privacy policy changes, has decided to wait a little while before implementing them.

In response to hostile reaction from users The Los Angeles Times reports that Facebook will hold off introducing new “features” that would have allowed it to use members' faces in advertisements.

To see just how much people disliked the idea, you can read comments on the announcement of the new plan.

Half a dozen US privacy groups expressed concerns about the plan in a joint letter sent to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In that letter, they express that Facebook is not abiding by the FTC's 2011 order forcing Facebook to obtain consent before using users' information.
