Can you tag people if they don’t have accounts?

Well, I cannot, because I don’t have an account there. I guess others can, but I don’t know for sure.

They have other ways. Cross site tracking etc. People without accounts on the platform itself still have profiles on the business side, which is a decent chunk of how they’re making money.

Right but without tagging they can’t do facial recognition can they.

What I’m saying is that if there’s a photograph of me on Facebook and someone tags it and goes ah there’s Bob Smith, does that that it’s me or is that just a label that says Bob Smith?
