I song want my photos in the cloud period

So why are you uploading your photos to Onedrive? If you’re not then why are you complaining about this feature that only exists does people who do?

You seem to be arguing about something completely off topic. Doing the face recognition on your local machine only to have the photos and tagged faces uploaded to onedrive makes no sense because the point of it is to automatically identify all photos of the tagged people so you can then find them all with a simple search for their name, and make custom auto-updating albums of specific people.

What exactly is your point?

To wake others up to the fact that it's not a good service to use and to the fact that maybe the people in the pictures they are uploading also don't want to have their image handed over to all these corporations. Have you ever asked the people in your pictures about this? I don't even let anyone take my picture anymore because everyone and their grandma has been ignoring my wishes about that since fucking myspace.

Lol you sound like a tonne of fun. What issue do you have with people having photos of you on their services?

They are using your data to build profiles on everyone, train their AIs, helping the government spy on you, and god knows what else. Your right, it's not fun that we have to worry about this but that's not my fault.
