Facebook is shutting down its facial recognition system due to privacy concerns

Facebook has scrapped its facial recognition system and removed one billion face prints its parent company announced Tuesday in response to serious privacy concerns

The announcement came as the social network faces one of its worst crises ever with internal documents leaked to American journalists lawmakers and American regulatory bodies.

There are many concerns about facial recognition technology in society and regulators are still in the process of introducing a clear set of rules governing its use, parent company Meta said in a statement.

Amid this ongoing uncertainty we believe that limiting the use of facial recognition technology to a narrow set of cases is appropriate the statement added.

The company did not clarify when this new procedure, which is used by more than a third of the site's visitors daily will enter into force.

The statement explained that putting an end to this system will lead to the deletion of more than one billion face prints from the forms used.

While the social network is facing an unprecedented crisis related to the leak of data it changed the name of the parent company to Meta in an attempt to move beyond being a social network tainted by scandals to its vision of the virtual reality of the future.

  Former US President Donald Trump said the United States was "poisoned" by the wave of migrants coming across the border, and called for the resumption of construction of the border wall with Mexico Our country is poisoned by the millions of people who illegally stream across our borders, and in most cases have not been questioned or stopped,” Trump said in a statement. "Many of those who streamed across the border are criminals from prisons that have been emptied in other countries, and most of them are very dangerous people," he said. And he added, "Our country is dying from within, and no one is doing anything to help it. The first thing that must be done quickly is to complete the wall."
