German data protection official has called for Facebook to delete biometric profiles of people stored without their explicit consent.

Johannes Caspar says he is now re-opening a stalled probe of the Menlo Park, California-based company "in order to find a legally sound solution with regard to the use of biometric data" that he says can be used to automatically identify individuals.

Calls to Facebook representatives in London weren't immediately answered.
