How to Stop Facebook Facial Photo Recognition Tag RequestsLast December, Facebook announced a new facial recognition technology. According to Sophos Labs , Facebook just implemented new security settings to control this functionality. The Sophos article we linked explains this functionality well.

And if they find what they believe to be a match, they may well urge one of your Facebook friends to tag it with your name. The tagging is still done by your friends, not by Facebook, but rather creepily Facebook is now pushing your friends to go ahead and tag you." If you want full control over the photo's you get tagged in, do the following:
