Facebook EU policy drops row on facial recognition for identity and account verification

A table row in the EU Privacy Policy was removed. It said Meta uses face analysis, which may include facial recognition, on account photos or a selfie you choose to provide, to verify identity or account and protect against impersonation and identity misuse. The diff does not show any replacement text, so it is unclear whether the practice ended or is described elsewhere.
