David, how do you go about disabling tagging? This is my dilemma… I am the administrator of a group page but I much prefer captioning the pics instead of tagging… how can I prevent members from tagging the photos that I upload (which then draws the photo out of the group page and onto that member’s personal page? Thanks!

My question is: why worry about privacy when you enter your data, pictures and more on the Internet?
Sorry the off-topic!

i think generally facebook does a pretty good job with the privacy settings, but we need to also be a bit digitally smart when it comes to social networking site and not putting a ton of private information online. social networking sites are now a big target for hackers and phishers, check out this article for more info

I think my friend has private photos. On the profile page, it says view photos (120). But of the photos available altogether on the photos page, there is only 100!. Am I right in assuming there are private photo’s?

a few days ago i noticed a strange security flaw. mobile interface (m.facebook.com) revealed a friend removing relationship status which i could not find from web version. i did check this with different sources and still could see fora long “is no longer listed single” -news in mobile but not in web version.

i suspect my friend changed his relationship status, then deleted this “news” but mobile-version did not respect “privacy” in this case.

I think there is big confusion over the the true meaning of privacy on the internet! Even Facebook had it wrong. I will agree with Dimitri here, if its private don’t upload it, period!

Even more than a glitch – facebook actually broadcasts updates to private albums, so everybody knows you’ve updated them and then gives them access to see the images.
