So, here's the weird catch-22. Or perhaps, the illusion of choice.
There are two people who are in a photo. One wishes Facebook to use face recognition, the other does not.
Facebook will run face recognition on the photo regardless, but how will they know who wants to be recognized, and who doesn't?
Simply, they have a model of your face already trained. And they recognize you in photos--you have no say whether or not they will. All this option does is hide the notifications when they do recognize you.
