Photos on Facebook.

Pique

Surely I can't be the only one to be amazed and slightly perturbed by the proliferation of people who upload photos of absolutely every and any night out they're on. Tagging everyone in the process. Not much chance of what happens on tour staying on tour, as it were.

I've also seen those of christenings, where the uploader has numerous pics of the baby on Facebook. What gives them the right? Muppets!

And that brings me onto the other side of the coin. People posting literally hundreds of photos of their kids, even from the delivery room!! Plus dozens of inane shots of any activity.
OK so it's their kid and they have the right I suppose but does privacy not mean anything to these people? Facebook actually own the rights to these photos ffs. Why would anyone allow their kids baby photos to be signed over so flippantly?
If it's a case of wanting them to be shared with family overseas then use a password protected Dropbox account.
The mind boggles.
I'm a parent and tbh I've no intention of sticking many photos of my kid on Facebook, if any at all.
I'll be well pissed if I see them tagged by someone else like those mentioned above too

Thats the freedom of the internet. If you don't like the photo that's up all you can do is report it. Literally hundreds of sites like facebook

Photos of children have no place on Facebook. I'm sick & tired of the amount of photos of newborns being posted seconds after they are born. I'm waiting for someone to crouch down take a photo of a fanny mid push. Nothing is sacred.
And tagging yourself & adding photos of every single thing you do is attention seeking, a poor attempt of making your life seem much more interesting & fun filled. If it was that much fun then you wouldn't have time to post the photo on Facebook.

My son was pictured in the local newspaper without my consent for winning an award for an art competition. I bought every single edition just to be sure like. Honest opinion different strokes for different folks but it would not be for me.

Totally agree, if you want to share your images with family and friends, do it the good old ways. Bring them around, get the kettle on and have a laugh. If distance is involved Dropbox or google drive. Secure and protected from the unwanted and nosie eyes of others. Lets be honest all friends on Facebook are far from friends.

My Aunt poked me on FB a while ago, I haven't been able to look at her the same since.

Until the day comes that I walk past a newstand and see that Facebook has sold photos of my wedding or first born to Hello magazine for a substantial sum and has cut me out of the payment, I could not give a swinging sh1te.

Photos are on Facebook now?

Many - if not most - people are stupid and/or fundamentally unhappy.

I have 115 friends on Facebook, and they're all very safe friends and family.
Facebook allows you to be selective from the word go, you don't have to add on "friends" if you don't like them, trust them, or know them very well.

I've no problem showing pics of my kids to any of my friends, and my pics are only visible to these people. They're all people I know to be safe.

Of course that's provided no idiot ever tags me and leave a pic (of myself or family) public, that's a major flaw allright, although I think you can remove the tag ?

Facebook is easier to access and load pics to than other sites I find, for my family in France.

And if anyone is sick of my family pics, they don't have to look at them.

edit : pics of some youngsters nights out are boring and repetitive in my opinion, but although I glimpse some in my newsfeed, I don't have to look at them.

What the hell is facebook for then OP? I'm lucky, I have a little scroll bar on the side of mine.

Not sure if serious!

I have lots of albums and photos on FB, from about five years ago until present day. But the settings are completely private so I am actually the only one that can see them. I hate looking at FB on a MOnday morning and seeing hundreds of blurry, drunken photos that have been uploaded by others.

As for the children question, I'm not a parent, but I honestly do not understand people who constantly post photos of their child on FB. Fair enough if you're treating it like a birth announcement to your friends (ie. a photo of parents and baby a few days after birth), but for the love of the sweet monkey, stop at that. I don't need to see 50 photos of a newborn everyday.

And what if they sell them to an agency that uses them for banner ads for syphilis treatment?
It's just possible ya know.

Meh... publish and be damned, I say.

Regarding the kids, the hysteria about privacy is absolute bull****. People putting a pic of their baby on facebook is an invasion of the baby's privacy and rights, but then turning around and getting it Christened is fine....? Persepctive folks.

From this I've discovered that people take Facebook and photos wayyyy to seriously. Fúckin' hell, lighten up.

Pictures of baby scans being published disgust me. Is nothing private and sacred anymore?

As far as lads on tour photographs go. One rule. No Tagging=No Nagging.

Loads of people do this. People I'd have thought definitely knew better. It seems to be used as a way to break the happy news these days.

Pictures of peoples dinner is the worst one especially if taken with Instagram

No one cares what your having for dinner or you imagine yourself as budding photographer taking blurry pics

Alright then I suppose I can do that for you.

Before I joined Facebook I honestly thought I'd be one of those people who put up photos of everything but I don't see the point. If people want to see my kids they can come see them in person. I mostly share photos or pics I think are funny but that's as far as I will go.

You can't control what other people out up on Facebook. They can put whatever they want up and they don't need anyone's consent for it, provided it's not incriminating.
I don't why people complain about wht others do. Of course sometimes it can be over the top but theyre entitled to do as they wish and I'd be perfectly ok with that.

Otherwise you've two options, stop using Facebook altogether or just unfriend/block the other person

Facebook taught me that girls like spending many hours taking photos in nightclub toilets, every time they go out.

I was just so tried of people checking in at the local bus stop sipping a diet coke. I think facebook should have a 'who cares' button. I have just recently 'unfriended' a good slice of my friend list. Now if I am checking in at a pub or club, I hope my friends see it and maybe meet up.

I tend to ask not to be tagged in photos, or else if I am tagged I'll remove it. I just don't really like the idea of it. Anyone that knows me will know it's me in the photo, and if they don't then they don't need to.

You don't like photos on FB , then only add people who you insist won't put photos up ,that way you only see what you want to see or just deactivate your account .

Have you thought about posting this on face-book, you might get some likes.

Gauld I so hate hearing anything about that site, would allmost luv to have mentioning that site a yellow card in AH.
idea: Actually it's a web business and a Boards competitor? ....ahhh forget it, couldn't be bothered spending energy on an aurgument against it, can't even turn on the news without hearing about it.

On OP question, isn't there other picture sites for people to share and still retain ownership of pictures, even using live skydrive. Pique, me thinks the only option is to stop using it, sooner it goes to the web-grave like beb.. the better.

Hippies!

Why do people cream themselves over photographs so much What's the big fascination with pics of your dirty ugly mug is what I wanna know.
