Face book warning

Snowie

Copied from another user on Facebook, but as far as I can see, this is genuine:

Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers use your posted pictures in their ads.
Click on SETTINGS up at the top where you see the log out link.
Select PRIVACY - MANAGE.
Select NEWS FEEDS AND WALL.
Select the tab that reads FACE BOOK ADS.
There is a drop down box, select NO ONE.

Save.

just so you all know.

Mr Benevolent

I've always wanted to get into ads, and here's my chance!

(Great idea on Facebook's part)

Snowie

if you say so, personally I don't like the idea of people making money out of me or my pictures.....

I don't think they're ads for Facebook using your image, but ads to third party that sites that reference your Facebook profile. Kind of like how Google Ads look different to different people, according to the user's interests.

For example, I was on a site last week and a banner ad addressed me by name ("Hi <my name>") and was accompanied by my Facebook profile pic. I think that's what this setting prevents when deactivated, they're hardly going to use amateur photographs on billboards advertising Facebook.

Fianna Fail have expressed an interest in using it to replace the party logo.

Posting pictures of yourself on facebook is equivelant to streaking naked through Croke Park on All-Ireland day, in front of the entire planet.

Bloody morons. Running around the internet with their tackle slapping in the breeze.

What about people who post up pics of you without your permission and then link them back to you?

I believe this only applies to those customised ads on Facebook itself. For example, there's one for some app which randomly throws up pictures of your friends suggesting what their IQ is and wants you to take a test. I think that disabling this option stops you from showing up in these ads when they are shown to your friends.

Well, surely that IQ test is false advertising, as it gives the impression your friends have taken the test, when they have not.

Regardless, I wouldn't be too happy if my pic was used to spread awareness of vd.

I agree, just saying that it doesn't mean that they can pass your photos on to sites outside of Facebook.

Yeah right, they're using members' pics to avoid royalty fees, why use that when Bono would be straight onto them lookin for money?

Sounds like typical paranoia to me. I do have this option disabled though, I don't want myself in these ads anyway.

Thanks for the tip, shall be disabling this on my Facebook next time i log on, that and untagging all the photos i'm in;)

I don't think it's right that they can tag without permission. You should get a message asking if you agree with the tag, IMO.

Just changed the settings on my facebook after reading this topic!

Pointless. Facebook is only available to users aged 13 or over, people far older than the intended audience.
