Given that Apple keeps a hash of your fingerprints stored on the device in a way that even Apple can't get to it (and I would assume something similar for the facial scan stuff) how are they in the same league as Facebook?

Apple doesn't even share the facial recognition data for iPhoto between your own devices.

Facebook has a profile of every one they've ever seen in a picture and can guess who they are even if they're not on Facebook.

It's completely different.
