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.

Keep calm. Yes, if you tagged your child in a picture and tagged someone else who didn’t have the same security features then other people would be able to see the pictures.
BUT if you understand that, and don’t tag anyone in the picture at all (I never do) and make it only available to certain people whom you know have the same security settings as you, then NO ONE else can see that picture.

If that was the case, then we’d be hearing about this happening all the time. I don’t feel one bit afraid of tagging pix on my FB account because the chances of that happening are nil. Thanks for the heads up, but I’m keeping my account.
