It can detect when you upload a photo that isn't you.

It can vary, basically, has to be vetted by FB, so I've heard anyway.

Try taking a photo with a wig on, I've heard that can sometimes trick it.

since when does fb have to verify that its a picture of you? i've had loads of random images as my profile pic before.

Cosmic182 · 23 Jun 2009 at 22:15

It's to help with a number of things like spotting transgenderism early and being able to recommend counselling and such.

Because they use all your face data to sell on to large companies

Reinstall Facebook, it's the only way to be sure.
