If you read the original post I linked to they were doing it without permission to someone who didn’t want it to happen. Companies can not use your image for advertising without your permission.

It always a good idea to be aware of the privacy settings of any site you’re using.

oh please! Why would I care if they use my photo in their ad? and what is the likelihood that they do that? I think that for 99.99% of people this has absolutely no effect, and for the remaining .01%- they probably want to be on the ad anyway…

I used Mozilla Firefox, and I had no trouble at all viewing and changing that setting.

Great article! I remember talking to you about Facebook, and can’t believe that there are so many features on there that I have overlooked. Well worth checking out…

I read that in the comments of the original post that there was a problem with some browsers.

I had no idea that was an option either! Even better: accessing my account in Firefox didn’t even show the option (the Facebook Ads tab had no text). I had to view it in IE to see the text -fortunately mine was already set to ‘no one.’

Good grief, Facebook.
