Like most new Facebook features, this one is turned on by default. If you would prefer not to have Facebook store your facial fingerprint and use it to suggest photos in which your friends can tag you, you will need to opt out manually. The following video will show you three ways to delete your facial fingerprint data from Facebook, and show you a privacy setting that lets you ensure that you are the only person who can see tags identifying you in photographs.
Easy to follow instructions at the link to remove the facial recognition from your Facebook account.
Three minutes later, I've already received a reply from Facebook..

In additon to which, my Facebook page says 'my location' is Amsterdam...
That would be funnier if we knew where you lived. So you don't live in Amsterdam? It's an international forum. You could.
There's a setting in your profile that lets you declare where you live, y'know?
O wait... I guess you don't want City-Data... a website/forum dedicated to discussing the places we live... to know where you live either, right?
And for people that do want to opt out of this you don't need to watch a video of how to do it.

People make videos of everything nowadays.
I live somewhere between a chair and a keyboard, though I sleep in central Texas. I've even heard of Colt McCoy. A review of a half dozen of my most recent posts (another C-D feature) will point to Texas, though one of them includes a link to an Amersterdam forum.
And just to help you understand the video smack... the link was as much for the Electronic Frontier Foundation as it was to the video. Teach a user to disable a Facebook feature is easy. Teaching a user to research info himself can increase his resources.

COLT MCCOY!!!!!
in all future communications.

But I shouldn't have to look that up to get your joke.

Ah. Right on. I didn't actually click the link. I had just disabled the "lame feature" so thought I'd share the step by step.
