Hello James, hi all, please consider using <http://tagmenot.info> tags as a preemptive opt-out measure to oppose face recognition.
It's a completeley free qr-code (at no cost in CC-BY license): you can wear it as a button or print it on stickers or t-shirt (ready-mades availabe at zazzle, but you can craft your own). The qr-code will redirect to the tagmenot.info site where your opt-out will is clearly stated. Face recognition is becoming more and more pervasive for the most frivolous reasons... see my tweets @dontTag .
