Didn't Facebook get in trouble in Europe for this?

Google has (wisely) made this feature opt-in, rather than opt-out, so I suspect that should solve most of these types of concerns.

Never used photo tagging in G+ or FB, opt-in for who btw? For the one being tagged or the user who uploaded the photo?

The subjects of photos can choose to find and tag themselves in photos visible to them.
