On: Facebook is backing away from facial recognition. Meta isn’t

The user daenz made a good point too:

I am just being skeptical here. Again, why cant I just have a control panel with a wide range of avatar emotes, the same way we currently have a wide range of emojis.

My physical facial expressions are limited. What if I wanted my jaw to literally drop on the floor? Or my heart to beat out of my chest?

Insert a "why not both" meme here. Having both available is very powerful, especially for non-power users who would rarely use the advanced list of emotes.
