I think this adware company is pure evil, but this feature seems like something a user might actually opt in to (as noted in the AP story, quite a few did).
Interesting to see that while meta at least publicly scraps the feature, a similar one on iOS Photos is not even an opt-in – you can't turn it off.
The difference is that the information gets processed, stored, and accessed only on your own devices with Apple, and on metas servers in the case of Facebook.
