Alleging that the feature constituted an "unfair and deceptive" business practice, EPIC urged the FTC to launch an immediate investigation into Facebook's facial-recognition policies, including determining the extent of potential harm to consumer privacy and safety, and requiring stronger privacy protections for Facebook users. Facebook's new automated tagging feature uses facial recognition software to identify individuals in users' photographs. In the FTC complaint, EPIC alleged that "[u]sers could not reasonably have known that Facebook would use their photos to build a biometric database in order to implement a facial recognition technology under the control of Facebook." Even if a user is able to opt-out of being tagged in photos, there is no way to opt-out of being added to Facebook's facial recognition biometric database itself. Data-protection officials from the European Union have launched their own investigation into Facebook's facial-recognition system, via the directives of the EU's Article 29 Data Protection Working Party. The privacy regulation bodies of both the UK and Ireland have indicated interest in beginning similar probes. The State of Connecticut's Attorney General, George Jepsen, has publicly raised concerns over the Facebook system. In a June 16 press release, he stated that he had contacted Facebook directly to discuss the issue.

EPIC recommended modifications to the SAFE Data Act, but supported the overall goal of limiting harm to consumers who are victims of data breaches. The SAFE Data Act was introduced by Representative Mary Bono Mack (R-CA), Chair of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade. Under the proposed le
