The source article at http://gutjahr.biz/blog/2011/09/face-off/ (in German) says (via Google translate):

    For example, information on the recently discussed ...
    "likes" that Facebook assigns to individuals, but also
    very delicate process information such as their biometric 
    data collected by the activated facial recognition this   
    year from Facebook.

It doesn't seem to be the original source, either. My guess is that the biometric facial recognition data was requested, and that Facebook is trying to block that request.

If this is the case then I actually consider this OK. I wouldn't consider the biometric facial recognition data 'mine'.

However I would take offense to Facebook selling that particular data more so than most other data they have on me.
