My 2 cents...As long as you have your privacy settings set properly no one can see the pictures except for people you are friends with. You can also share pictures with only specific people on FB. I’ve tested this out, had others try to see my pictures who I’m not friends with, and it works. My kids grandparents live in South Africa, their aunt is Australia, we’re in Oklahoma. When used properly Facebook is a great way to stay connected.

That’s what I thought. If I thought for one minute that a child molestor was looking at my babies’ pictures, I would never put them up and would warn my kids not to as well. I think if that was the case, FB would have gone under a long time ago.

INCORRECT!!!

Anyone who is a friend of any person WHO IS TAGGED in the photo can see the photo.

Any person tagged in the photo who has his/her security settings set low, automatically opens up the photo to the entire facebook universe.

Therefore, everytime your child is in a group photo with lots of people tagged, that photo is essentially public information.

Now for the really scary part.

If you then delete that photo off of your FB account...it doesn’t leave facebook. Even if you are the one who uploaded it in the first place. It only leaves your FB account. every other person who has been tagged in that photo RETAINS THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THAT PHOTO ANY TIME THEY CHOOSE forever until they also choose to delete that photo. And all the people who are tagged in that photo who have low security settings are STILL MAKING THAT PHOTO AVAILABLE TO ALL PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK.

Facebook preys on the inexperienced people of our society. You people are obviously in that category. Good luck with your stubborn polyanaish head in the sand ignorance because it is dumb luck alone that is keeping you going. apparently.
