Google says no to Glass facial recognition app approvals for now

   "We've been listening closely to you, and many have expressed both
    interest and concern around the possibilities of facial recognition in
    Glass. As Google has said for several years, we won't add facial
    recognition features to our products without having strong privacy
    protections in place. With that in mind, we won't be approving any
    facial recognition Glassware at this time."

I'm proud of Google for taking a responsible, deliberate approach to
dealing with this sensitive and complex issue.
