One of Beth’s friends alerted us to this:
Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers use your posted pictures by default to your friends in their ads. .To changeNGS up at the top where you see the log out link. Select PRIVACY. Then select NEWS FEEDS AND WALL. Next select the tab that reads FACE BOOK ADS. There is a drop down box, select NO ONE. Then SAVE your changes. (REPOST to let your friends know!)
One of my wife’s friends alerted her to a security change regarding Facebook’s advertisements. Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers use your posted pictures by default to your friends in their ads.
To change this default setting, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Facebook account
- Click Settings at the top right of the page
- Click Privacy Settings
- Click News Feed and Wall
- Click Facebook Ads tab
- In the drop down box, select No one.
- Click Save Changes
In the same area you can also make other changes to your Facebook privacty settings

Very good advice! And something that everyone should do.
BTW: I fail to understand why Facebook thinks it is permissible to use my picture in an ad about a third part product. That’s just scary. You picture might very well be used by a company that you would never support.
Good point…I thought it was pretty crazy as well…even if it was only shown to friends.
Thanks a lot for these security tips on facebook. I also have account on it and now i am happy to see these tips of securing your personal networking sites.
It’s only so that when one of your quizzes appears on someone else’s page that your photo can be shown.
I fail to see why people cannot recognize a hoax when it is staring them in the face.
If you follow the steps, you will see that it is exactly what it says it is…learn to read before writing.
I thank you for pointing this out. I wonder if it would be a good thing to post it to my facebook page. Others need to know this
Absolutely share it with all your Facebook friends…you can click the little Facebook icon below the tip to post it directly to your Facebook page.
When I tried to set up the Facebook security tip, I got as fas as News Feed and Wall and my computer froze up. Any suggestions? Clare
Try clearing all your temp files in the options of Internet Explorer and then try again…or use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome instead. Good luck.
Facebook claims that they are not allowing third party vendors to use photos without your permission, but, one wrong click there and you have given them permission by clicking “allow access” or something else that is buried in their Terms of Service. This is a great tip.
hello i hope you can help me on a strange subject.
I used my boyfriends pc for the first time to log in on facebook and when i started typing my email it dropped down so i clicked on it and the dots appeared where my password would be.
Is there anyway it could have got there unless he had put it in, as i say i had never used it before.
Thank you Rick
Nope…there is no way that could have happened without someone typing the data in first….unless you are using Firefox and XMarks sync tool or something like that to sync data between machines.
