Some FB info you should know..

I just saw this article.. I am not too happy about it and I actually think a few people on this board had their pics taken from FB and used for advertising..

FB Can Use Your Pics

That's disturbing. Especially when you consider how many children pictures there must be on there.

This happened years ago on a Gardenweb.com. The terms of service were changed so that they could use any picture posted on the website for advertising and 3rd party partners.

Although a lot of people didn't really care, I did. So I removed my photos from the site.

I saw this too. You can "opt out" of it by going into your settings under "News feed and wall" and click on the drop down option "No-one."

That is exactly what I did a few days ago when I found out about this.

Re: Some FB info you should know..

It only shows up in Advertisements your friends see- NO ONE ELSE

See facebook statement below:
Facebook occasionally pairs advertisements with relevant social actions from a user's friends to create Facebook Ads. Facebook Ads make advertisements more interesting and more tailored to you and your friends. These respect all privacy rules. You may opt out of appearing in your friends' Facebook Ads below.

I don't think it's that big of a deal, I like that I'll be able to see some of my friends in ads rather than random people :))
