Facebook Lets Advertisers Use Pictures Without Permission

Posted by kdawson on from the controlling-rights-to-your-face dept.

Krokz sends in an LA Times piece that begins "A warning is bouncing through cyberspace today, landing on the Facebook statuses of many of the social networking site's users. The message: 'Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers use your posted pictures without your permission.' It continues with a prescription of how you can protect your photos." The attention-grabbing incident in this furor involved a married woman, whose photo appeared in an ad for a dating service that was presented to her husband to view. Fortunately, both husband and wife had a sense of humor about it.

    You douche bag moderator for modding parent down. It is completely understandable where he is coming from. What *is* tech about this? How is this "stuff that matters?" If you're going to mod me down, read my justification here. You wouldn't even be able to mod me down.
