To be FURIOUS with MIL??

Name changed for obvious reasons.

My baby is 3months old. I had a difficult birth and not an enjoyable time having him at all.

There are very few photos taken of us both during and after the birth (ECS) and the ones that were taken are extremely private and special to me.

Yesterday me and DH got tagged in a post on Facebook.
It's a video, like a slideshow of photos.
You guessed it, those photos are on there. There's one of DS straight after the birth, still covered in birth goo and there's one of me holding him straight after the birth (whilst I was haemorrhaging but didn't know yet) so obviously, I look like shit.

Me and DH were both shocked to see these private photos online and DH asked her to take them down. He said that we like the video and it would be lovely, if it wasn't on Facebook, and if she would mind taking it down.

Her reply was something like this "I've taken it down. (Which she hasn't) don't worry, I know that these aren't your words and this hasn't came from you. I won't put anything on Facebook again, you can be sure of that!!! And by the way, User has photos of DS in hospital on her Facebook so I didn't see why it would be such an issue."
The photos I've put on are when DS was a few days old to announce his birth. Not when he was first born covered in gunk!

AIBU to be furious at this?? The video is still there!

"We have become much more private in this generation"

Actually where everyone used to pursue their fifteen minutes of fame, I think nowadays we are hard put to have our fifteen minutes of anonymity

I think what's happened is for the first time ever gossipers are using very public, traceable and permanent platforms to spread their news with very little effort. And they don't like being caught.
OP YANBU.
