German data protection regulators reopened an investigation into Facebook's facial recognition technology Wednesday, claiming the social network failed to comply with official requests to alter its policies to match European regulations.

Facebook uses analytic technology to compile facial recognition data that it then uses to suggest which users should be tagged in photos.
