Meta to continue use of facial recognition feature

San Francisco: Earlier this week, Facebook announced that it would be shutting down its facial recognition systems. But now, the social network’s parent company Meta said that it would be using the same system for its metaverse products.

Meta is already exploring ways to incorporate biometrics into its emerging metaverse business, which aims to build a virtual, internet-based simulation where people can interact as avatars, reports Recode.
