"When I got back from a trip I took abroad with my family earlier this year, my friends mentioned that they'd seen the photos that "I" had posted to Facebook. Except... I hadn't posted any photos to Facebook. I have a Facebook account, but I deliberately have a very minimal presence on it. What my friends were seeing was the photos that my mother had posted, and which I had been tagged in. My privacy was violated by someone else's inability to understand Facebook's privacy settings."
Ironically, it was your OWN inability to understand Facebook's privacy settings.
Go to Settings -> Click " Timeline and Tagging Settings" -> Edit " Who can add things to my timeline? " section : " Review posts that friends tag you in before they appear on your Timeline?" make " Enabled "
There, you will never be tagged in another photo or post, and you now have a review process for anyone who attempts those things, so you can manually up or down those things.
- MartinCron 9y agoI am reminded of a basic fact: You can’t opt-out of other people talking about you online. Keeping people from tagging you is pretty close, though.
- quadyeast 9y agoNo, this is FB's fault. This should be opt-in.
- KC8ZKF 9y agoSo you have to join Facebook in order to not be tagged on Facebook?
- romwell 9y agoThe tags work in the way OP described only if you are already a user.
- raquo 9y agoYou can't actually opt out of tagging anymore, you can only opt out of tags appearing on your timeline, but people can still see the photos and see that you are tagged in them.
