A facebook and photos rant

[MerlinsBeard]

AIBU in wanting photo's of me removed from other peoples profiles?

They were taken at college - so about 8 years ago now. Was in the middle of an eating disorder which i still occasionally go back to (please don't judge me on this on this thread) and i was drunk and smoking in ALL of them, things i don't do now because i actually like my life now and don't actually like either.

Can i report them to facebook because they didn't ask me if they could be put up? or shall i just F off because IABU?

I'd suggest emailing the people first and asking them to remove them on these grounds since it was a bad time of your life and you don't want them published on the net. If they don't, you can at least untag yourself from the pictures.

i have just emailed so hopefully she will at the very least untag me.

Have you tried asking them to take them down? I'd do that before reporting them. If you explain your reasons, and presumably they're your friends, surely they'll understand?

I can understand how you feel. There are some grim ones of me - but i don't feel i can ask them only based on not wanting to see pictures of me looking boiled with 3 chins and my eyes shut.

you can untag your self from photos, the photos will still be there, but your name will be off - so they wont link to you.

I don't know Facebooks policy on this, seems to me that people can just put up pics of anyone for all to see, I've often thought about this, I've untagged myself from a few other peoples pics recently.

I recently put up photos of some of my friends from a long time ago. One girl basically took the huff with me and started bad mouthing me to our other friends saying how horrid I was for putting up pictures of her. As soon as I found out she didn't like them I took them down. If she'd just come to me first I would've taken them off asap and then there would've been no nastiness.

I hope the person replies to your email, your doing the right thing by asking them first. You know you can actually untag yourself from other people's pictures too.

phew, i thought it would seem as if i was being a bitch!

certainly email her first, and give her the chance to remove pics.

i untagged and sent a message as i could see she was online telling why i had untagged certain pictures. She replied 'fine' so i can't tell if she is annoyed or not but tbh we aren't close and it really was a shit time in my life (inside-on the outside i hid it well).

let her leave the pictures on but am untagged so can breathe a bit easier
