Thanks for sharing! Yea, this was already in the line of expectation. The good part of the upcoming GDPR is that for Europeans certain privacy settings will be opt-in, while for the rest of the world they will be opt-out, like new automatic facial recognition facilities, that - when enabled - kick in on all images FB can lay their hands on.
It remains to be seen how Facebook will package this opt-in setting, though. Also in the line of expectation is that they will apply some dark pattern to make this seem really attractive, or no real choice at all. Let’s be watchful and see what they come up with.
