@Carnage4Life Facebook doesn't care about user satisfaction; they care about *Facebook*, and will do whatever it takes to grow Facebook. Maximum engagement = a bunch of people yelling at each other.

@cmkeller69 FaceID is primarily based on 3D depth sensing, not cheesy 2D camera tricks, so that shouldn't be the case. Generic "face recognition" from security cameras is a very different beast.
