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.

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.

NASA launches Lucy to space

  A NASA spacecraft loaded with diamonds blasted into space on Saturday, on a 12-year mission to explore eight asteroids. Seven mysterious space objects are among swarms of asteroids orbiting Jupiter, which are believed to be original remnants of the planet's formation. The Atlas V rocket blasted off before dawn, carrying the Lucy spacecraft on a twisting orbital flight of nearly 6.3 billion kilometres. The craft is named after the 3.2 million-year-old skeletal remains of a human ancestor found in Ethiopia nearly half a century ago. The discovery got its name from the 1967 Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," which prompted NASA to send the spacecraft to fly along with the band members' song. The spacecraft also carried a lab-produced diamond disk for one of its science instruments. The paleoanthropologist behind the discovery of the "Lucy" fossil, Donald Johansson, said he was astonished by this intersection between our past, present and future. ...

In a press briefing Wednesday, Rochelle Valinsky, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the center records "from time to time" the spread of this new strain, which was recently discovered in Britain, but she indicated that there is no data to indicate that this strain undermines the effectiveness of the vaccine or drugs used.
