yeah stylish very simple ways to protect even that you keep checking your friend list once a month to just see if no unknown people are been added or anything :)

Thanks Everyone =]

I would also like to bring to light that Fb has recently announced a new face detection feature for tagging photos. Now people will be able to tag friends in photos without clicking on them in the photo (the computer identifies the person). So basically further threatens the privacy of people. Although you will still have control over the who can see the photos (by privacy settings) imaginue that if your acccount were hacked, people could be identified easily in any part of the world!!  :-\

However Fb says that the system is secure ::)

Chingoo:
I don't upload any personal photos on my FB. Firstly, if someone really needs to look at how gorgeous and beautiful and eye-catching I am ::), they probably know me in real life anyhow. Online friends are generally not to be trusted anyhow, and if you trust them so, send them a copy of the picture via email.

The problem with uploading pictures, with privacy settings on, is that it is not secure. Other than hackers, generally these pictures may be accessed by third party (remember when those applications ask for permission on facebook to use your photo album features, and you allow them) and hence, there's a door to them being leaked on the internet.

Also, sometimes settings override one another. I set photos tagged with my name to be only shown to a select group; the poster has tagged a gazillion people in it (like a group photo or sometimes people tag photos to bring attention to it) who may or may not be in my select lit. You think my settings would prevail or his tags? Of course, his tags. There goes my privacy in a jiffy.

Lastly, let's shine some light on perverts. No offense meant to anyone here, and this may sound blatant but let's state it: there are a bajillion people out on the internet looking for eye candy. And if they manage to leak into your profile, especially if you're a chick, you're becoming their source of carnal satisfaction. Which I'm sure no one likes, especially if the perv is ugly and grizzly and has a gun.  ::) Also, your pictures are then property of just anyone, who could stalk you even if you never met him in real life, post them on inappropriate websites or manipulate them into inappropriate backdrops and videos. If any of this spreads (and we all know how great internet is at that) you're likely to be in a real fix.

So that's my viewpoint: upload your photos at your own risk. I'm quite paranoid in this aspect and if I wanna share my pictures, I just take my Android or laptop or whatever and see them with my friends. You shouldn't take my suggestion seriously if you want to hook up online, I suppose ;)
