Decade Old Feature Facebook introduced Face Recognition over a decade ago, in December 2010. Back then, the function worked automatically. Facebook didn’t ask people’s permission.

Click farms are usually based in developing countries with little to no data regulations, oversight, or enforcement. They create 1,000s of fake accounts to trawl Instagram, engaging with posts and profiles and clicking on paid advertisements. In doing so, they can inflate a person’s following, helping them earn income through advertising or sponsored posts on the app without appearing like spam.
