OK and so does Photobucket, and tinypic and flickr and Phtoshleter etc.
And on all this sites just like Facebook you can set your permissions on who sees what.
See you don't use Facebook yet you claim to know how it works. And proves you wrong yet again! hahahah
We are talking about FB, not other social media outlets.
Family Law and Facebook - The Death of Privacy
By Anthony M. Zezima posted in Family Law on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
Remember your parents’ house, with the wall full of pictures of children, grandchildren, ancestors, and other family and friends? Remember when your sister’s diary was locked and stuffed under her mattress? Well those two memories have come together in today’s society - it’s called Facebook. It will now be a significant factor in all family law matters.
If you use Facebook as a regular method of sharing personal information about your life with family and friends, as well as sharing photos of what is going on in your life, you need to be aware of how this information, put out on the internet, can come back to haunt you. We used to have family gatherings where we gossiped about everyone and shared stories about our exploits and foibles. Now we have Facebook. Do you think that somewhat harmless story you told about drinking and partying all weekend, accompanied by photos of you glassy eyed and downing another beer, will be so funny on Monday when you get called into the office of your supervisor to explain.
What about that offhand remark you made about your best friend’s husband? It was a joke, right? Will that joke somehow come back to haunt him in a future discussion with his employer?
For those of you who think you can keep your Facebook Wall and all of your comments and photos private, simply by clicking “friends” instead of “public”, you need to wake up to today’s world of the death of privacy. Family Law cases involving Facebook are increasing exponentially. Those matters that you thought were private, or long forgotten, are coming back to haunt you in your divorce, custody, visitation, and child support litigation.
If you think that your Facebook page is private, you should know that employers, government agencies, and school officials are now asking for your Facebook password, or that your supervisor be accepted as your “friend” so that they can monitor all of those private entries on your Facebook page. How many of you have “friended” a co-worker, fellow student, supervisor, former spouse, coach, or some other person who may have reason to question your behavior outside of the environment that they see you regularly? Would you let them into your home to see the photos on the wall? Sure. Would you have let them read your diary? I don’t think so.
Social networking can be fun, and it is addictive. What you need to understand is that it can be dangerous. It can put an end to your privacy, and can do so much more harm than that.

Now the fact is that if FB ended tomorrow the world (6Billion people) would take very little note of it and it would have virtually zero (note I said the word virtually, so don't twist my words), impact on the REAL world outside of social interaction.
