Eeeeep Facebook Warning: IMPORTANT

I just saw this posted by a friend on facebook. You probably will want to follow the directions so that your pictures are not used in advertisements. Do not worry, if you are my friend I have already done so, I wouldn't want any of those ridiculous photos to be property of anyone but me!

To ALL FRIENDS. Please pass this around! Facebook has agreed to let a third party advertiser use your posted pictures without your permission. Click on SETTINGS up at the top where you see the log out link. Select PRIVACY. Select NEWS FEEDS AND WALL. Select the tab that reads FACE BOOK ADS. There is a drop down box, select NO ONE. Then SAVE CHANGES.



FYI: This was their thinking:
Facebook occasionally pairs advertisements with relevant social actions from a user's friends to create Facebook Ads. Facebook Ads make advertisements more interesting and more tailored to you and your friends. These respect all privacy rules. You may opt out of appearing in your friends' Facebook Ads below.
