How not to get over-exposed on Facebook
One of the big news stories this week has revolved around the incoming head of Britain’s MI6 being exposed in his Speedo on Facebook. It’s been regarded as a massive security breach, but the reality is that people get exposed on this social network all the time, often with dire consequences. How do you then prevent yourself from becoming too well-known on Facebook, whilst still maintaining a degree of connectivity?
Photos of the incoming head of MI6, John Sawers, were posted on Facebook by his wife. Apart from the photos; other information about his family, residence and vacations was also made available on the popular site.
However, what do you do when others tag you in photos in uncompromising situations? Well, it’s quite simple: you can venture into your privacy settings and modify the settings of photos tagged of you. You can then select the privacy option that says that only you can see those photos tagged of you.
You can even protect the privacy settings of your photo albums to make them only visible to friends as opposed to the whole world. Once you’ve protected your photos, it’s also suggested that you remove yourself from Google searches and even public searches.
Most people on Facebook aren’t fully aware of how to control these above-mentioned privacy settings. But having said all this, the reality is that a little bit of controversy is what makes this site as popular as it is, and it’s always rather interesting when people get exposed (especially when they happen to be spies in Speedos).

Hmm thats a good question that requires me to do some serious thinking over a few tequila shots. I'll get back to you on that. However i can say cats do have 9 lives so if Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction will bring it back :)

whats your id give me give me so i can expose you to QLers on Facebook
Well, usually only my friends have pictures of me and if they upload them and I happen to dislike one of them, I simply ask them to delete it, I do the same for them... We all agree on that, no matter who else is in the picture, if for some reason I don't like it DELETE!
I have lots of pictures, and of me of course... is a way of keeping in touch with my family and friends in Mx. And I love to see their pictures too.
Kathreine Smoke eh? well thats left to you to find out now but i have been told i make a good lesbian :)

Well I did a search, and there were over 500 people with the word smoke in their name. So I tried smoke kat, and there were 2!!
Is your name secretly Katherine Smoke? Have you been holding out on us?
LOL so there's no escape from this cyber madness that is, FB :P
is if youre male, young,hot and with a six pack,a stolen picture of you in a speedo will be circulated on the internet.
on the other hand,,,if youre dinasour old,flabby and look like a crypt keeper,,,hmmmm....pictures-of you wearing a speedo circulating on the net? eeeewwwww!!!!
So missX accept the inevitable and just add me on facebook. You know there is no where you can hide from this KAT.

The thing is, no matter how many privacy settings you can turn on, on your own facebook page. If one of your friends posts a picture of you in it (no matter if you remove the tag or not) friends of your friend will still be able to see that picture, and furthermore your name will still be attributed to that photo. It just wont be an actual link to your own facebook page.
There is nothing, I repeat nothing you can do to prevent other people posting pictures of you on the internet. Furthermore, most, if not all sites where the pictures are posted now have a mutual ownership of that picture. In other words, can re-use them to advertise if they really wanted.
I never load anything on FB.. it is just other people keeping on tagging me in their pictures..even my FB profile picture was taken by one of the friends..:)
