Facebook
With over a billion users, Facebook is the definitive homepage for many web users. Its terms of service, data use and cookie use policy span more than 14,000 words over eight separate pages and would take even the quickest reader more than two hours to dig through. But what rights have you handed over to Facebook?
Specifically for photos and video uploaded to the site, Facebook has a license to use your content in any way it sees fit, with a license that goes beyond merely covering the operation of the service in its current form. Facebook can transfer or sub-license its rights over a user’s content to another company or organisation if needed. Facebook’s license does not end upon the deactivation or deletion of a user’s account, content is only released from this license once all other users that have interacted with the content have also broken their ties with it (for example, a photo or video shared or tagged with a group of friends).
This is a quote from a Telegraph article form 2013. If it is still correct, then you may still own the copyright to your photos op, but you have also handed them over to Facebook to do what they wish with. Hope I haven't got that wrong.
I have a Facebook page which I never use and I personally think that once you have put photos onto social media and tagged people in it, then you can't moan about the consequences later.
Can I also just mention that with modern day cameras everyone is an budding photographer. Even I can take pretty good looking snaps these days whereas previously I cut the heads off of most of my pictures.
Another thing. I hate getting tagged in other peoples photos on Facebook and I would have had your guts for garters if you had posted pictures of my children when they were young.
