What does Facebook's facial recognition shutdown mean for its users?

https://youtu.be/RpoqWIQqlk4
Is there really any benefit to the average user in Facebook's move to shut down this service?
How do you protect yourself from this technology?
Thanks to Joe Bosso's excellent article on this topic. https://blog.avast.com/author/joe-bosso

What is a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program)
"A PUP is a program that may be unwanted, despite the possibility that users consented to download it.
PUPs include spyware, adware, and dialers, and are often downloaded in conjunction with a program that the user wants."
Microsoft seems to have taken that meaning a bit further.
It's applying that term to any program that also, by default, installs one or more
other programs not selected by the user. Even if the user is given the opportunity
to bypass the installation of that other(s) possibly unwanted program.
Someone just asked me about something that Microsoft tagged as a "PUA:Win32/PiriformBundler"
This is a perfect example Microsoft's new inclusion of programs to be classified as PUPs
Here is how Microsoft describes this version of a PUP:
