Changes to Facebook's data use policy announced a week ago will not be rolled out until next week, according to the LA Times. The proposed changes include adding profile photos to Facebook's facial recognition database, and clarifying the use of personal information for advertising purposes.

According to the Times, the Federal Trade Commission has been asked by six consumer watchdog groups to block Facebook's proposed changes. The policy updates were in response to a privacy lawsuit filed in 2011 that the company settled for $20 million last month.
