[kictanet] Facebook can use your pictures for ads, no permission required

[Gakuru Alex]

A warning is bouncing through cyberspace today,
landing on the Facebook statuses of many of the
social networking site's users. The message:
'Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers
use your posted pictures without your permission.'

It continues with a prescription of how you can
protect your photos.

The attention-grabbing incident in this furor involved
a married woman, whose photo appeared in an ad
for a dating service that was presented to her
husband to view.

Fortunately, both husband and wife had a sense of
humor about it.
