No, they don't activate *your* camera (AFAIK). What can happen is that
if a Facebook member posts your picture, even in a group picture, and
attaches your name, then Facebook may extract your face and name and
use it in other contexts, like another picture including you.

Many cameras having GPS, which gets recorded by default in the
EXIF metadata of JPEGs, which is then by default included in a Facebook
posting, your whereabouts could be tracked just because some other
Facebook member took your picture, and you just happened to be in the
background!

This is all what they *can* do, not necessarily what they *do* do. But
given revelations of what they *have* done, I find them hard to trust.
