unfortunately, if 'you' don't play their game, they take their ball and go home. 'You're' left there at the bottom playing kick the can by yourself.well it is just another ploy to get you to have a Goog le + Account. That's the only way it will show up. They are trying their best to become the new Face Book. I have an account, but I never use it. I have no time for it..

I don't think they're really checking your photo so much as they're making sure it's a person's picture rather than a cartoon character, etc. I've just gone in and changed mine since now it'll be used for my business listing and my previous pic was me drinking a Guinness! I didn't want to offend any non-drinkers out there.Thank you so much for posting that. I am beside myself. They actually want to approve your face shot? And you must have a personal account? Wow. Guess if you want to be out there, the cost is your personal privacy short and sweet..
Have been doing some checks online. Some are reporting that a profile or black and white shot not fully disclosing the face will not do, it has to be a front view color photo. Some seem to think it has to be a known tagged photo, but I don't see this could be right. It will be used to compare with other photos of you that are identified, so I would not use another persons photo...don't want to be blamed for their crimes....I don't think they're really checking your photo so much as they're making sure it's a person's picture rather than a cartoon character, etc. I've just gone in and changed mine since now it'll be used for my business listing and my previous pic was me drinking a Guinness!

When I did my profile, it could tell if the picture I was downloading didn't have a person's face (I tried!)
Just like facebook, you have to have a personal profile (accurate or not) before you can have the business profile. You certainly don't have to tell the truth or post on your personal page after you create it.

Facial recognition will be used to ID you by other sources. Just sayin, it is creepy to me. BTW the EU made them take this down over there.

I know what you mean SS. Every time I get good at one thing, they go and change it or add something new we're supposed to do! I have a feeling that this new tag thing with google will probably turn into something that everyone will have automatically, but right now when it's new, whoever does the change will have a slight edge on the competition.so much to continually learn ... my brain can't keep up ... i have to keep pushing! it seems to me that acorn is a wealth of info..
