How to stop Facebook from using your Pictures?

By thorgal on Jul 26, 2009 | In General | Send feedback »

Facebook is using your profile pictures for its ads. What is even worse, is that they can use them for any kind of ads. Imagine seeing your boyfriend or wife in an ad for a dating site. Unfortunately, what Facebook is doing is 100% legal. You probably even agreed to it when you signed up (without knowing it). The use of your pictures is by default allowed.

Luckily you can switch it off easily yourself. Here is how to do it:

How to remove your pictures from Facebook Ads:

1. Log in to Facebook and click on “Settings".

2. Choose “Privacy Settings” and go to “News Feed and Wall”

3. Click on “Facebook Ads”

4. Make sure you put “Appearance in Facebook Ads” to “None".
