Facebook has quietly expanded the availability of technology to automatically identify people in photos, renewing concerns about the privacy practices of the world's top social networking service.

The feature, which Facebook automatically enabled for Facebook users, has been expanded from the United States to most countries.

Its "Tag Suggestions" feature uses facial recognition technology to speed up the process of labelling friends and acquaintances that appear in photos posted on Facebook.
