面對公眾壓力，新生的 Meta 日前做出了進一步弱化面部識別技術存在感的決定。早些時候官方宣佈將在「未來幾週內」關停 Facebook 的面部辨識系統，這意味著自動識別照片中用戶、為視障使用者而設的圖像自動描述文字等功能都有可能會受到影響，此外 Facebook 的團隊也決定刪除超過 10 億份面部識別模板。
Meta 之所以做出這樣的決定，是出於公眾對面部辨識廣泛應用性和管制不確定性「日益增加的擔憂」。他們雖然相信這類技術在某些領域有著極大的用途，但也承認「範圍更小」、更注重隱私保護的發展策略會優於現行的廣泛推廣方案（比如識別過程僅限在裝置內，不用遠端伺服器參與等）。除了 Meta 以外、Amazon、Google 等公司過去幾年都曾刻意給自家的面部辨識業務加上了不少限制。如何找到技術運用的平衡點，是科技巨頭們未來要好好思考的課題。
