Not that this really helps.
The moment someone else puts up a picture that you happen to be in (esp. family, friends) and then tags it with your name -- your image and name be scooped and cataloged.
- renholder 8y ago>...and then tags it with your name... Even that's not wholly necessary required. If they can obtain data from your own Facebook app (or an app using the Facebook SDK), it can place you in that area around the time the photo was taken and given it's friends you have connections with on Facebook, it's easy enough to surmise it's you without the necessary confirmation. Seems very Orwellian, to be sure, but not out of the grasps of the end-goals of data harvesting/profiling.

- JohnFen 8y agoI know, but I've largely trained my friends and family to not do that sort of thing. Regardless, I think that it's a fallacy to say that because it's impossible to defend yourself perfectly, then it's not worth defending yourself as well as you can.
