Ordinarily, you decide when and how to interact with your photos. I sometimes choose to spend a few minutes looking over collections of photos of dead loved ones; it's often painful and makes me feel vulnerable and it's not something I would want sprung on me while I'm in the office, for example. If Facebook's only purpose was to show you random photos from your past, then the "just don't use it" argument would fly. However, Facebook is trying to be the primary way that people interact with their friends and families. For many people, the option becomes, "interact with your friends and family online and sometimes have painful memories thrust in front of you at inopportune moments" vs "don't interact with your friends and family online". I've chosen the latter - I don't use Facebook. They're probably working on it. Do they really still not have a way to opt out of that? Seems like the obvious solution would be to set it up as opt-in.
