More privacy fears as Facebook buys facial-recognition startup for undisclosed sum

More privacy fears as Facebook buys facial-recognition startup for undisclosed sum: "Facebook is bringing one of its long-term vendors, a facial-recognition technology company Face.com, in-house.

The Israeli company's technology helps people tag photos on the Web by figuring out who is in the pictures.

The deal bolsters one of Facebook's most popular features - the sharing and handling of photos - but the use of the startup's technology has spurred concerns about user privacy."
