Google + launches its facial recognition system

After Facebook, Google + in turn allows users to find the photos posted by friends. Useful clarification: the function 'Find My Face' is optional, in an attempt to avoid criticism that had exposed the leading social networks.
By this weekend, Google has started to launch its facial recognition system, allowing users using the Google tool + to be on the photos posted by friends. This feature will be optional, said Google, which hopes to avoid criticism when wiped his rival Facebook has launched a similar system installed by default earlier this year.
"By enabling Find My Face, Google + can cause people who know you to identify yourself when your face is a picture," said one Google engineer, Matt Steiner, the blog of the group. "Of course, you can control which statements are accepted or rejected," he added.

Google +, a tool for customizing the web which is similar to a type of social network Facebook, has attracted over 40 million users since it became publicly available in September, which leaves him far short of over 800 million users claimed by Facebook.
