The app was not released publicly, and Facebook tells Business Insider that it only worked on company employees and any of their friends who opted in to the social network's facial recognition system. The app, which was developed by Facebook employees between 2015 and 2016 and tested internally, relied on information from the social network's vast collection of user-uploaded photos and facial recognition data to identify people in real life within seconds, sources told Business Insider.
A Facebook spokesperson denied that the app could ever identify strangers who didn't work at Facebook, saying that it was only ever able to recognise the faces of Facebook employees and of Facebook friends of the user who had enabled the social network's facial recognition system on their accounts. The existence of the experimental app, which has not been previously reported, highlights Facebook's willingness to experiment with technologies with major societal implications. And it raises questions about the $564 billion company's historic approach to privacy and consent, and its handling of users' data.
