You have allowed FreakBook to collect all your private data and photos of your face and body parts for so many years.

Now you are having questions when somebody actually uses them?

I haven't used or uploaded any photos of myself to Facebook in probably about 10 years. So I would be interested to know what it can find on me as I highly suspect I don't look the same as I did 10 years ago

Probably all the photos of you that other people have posted.

Identifying you could be possible all the same.

I wonder how much use is there in photos of you where you haven't been tagged (in addition to being bad quality). When it comes to better-quality, tagged ones - you can just ask people not to do so.
