I can't comment on how things like faces get used, but in my experience, PII at Meta is inaccessible by default.
Unless you're impersonating a user on the platform (to access what PII they can see), you have to request special access for logs or database columns that contain so much as user IDs, otherwise the data simply won't show up when you query for it. This is baked into the infrastructure layer, so I doubt the GenAI teams are using something else.
