On a public web site you could simply copy a photo and put it on another web site.
> On your own website you would presumably not post photographs of yourself that compromises your privacy, but when others do so on social networks
Differing how from if they just posted it on a public web site other than Facebook?

If you put a photo on a public website, clearly you have no issue with the photo being seen by other people. This is not true for photos that others share with you in them. Your real life friends take photographs of you and publishes them on Facebook without your consent, some of which you may not want to be public. > Differing how from if they just posted it on a public web site other than Facebook? Most public websites do not index user photographs by time/event and are easily searchable by name. But yes, it is not that different in general fundamentally. Facebook just allows the information to be much more easily aggregated and browsed
