Use it responsibly
Search photos you own or have a legitimate reason to check: your own pictures, a dating match before you meet, or a profile that is asking you for money. Don't use a face search to follow, harass or expose someone. Laws on facial recognition differ by country and by US state, so check the rules where you live.
