  1. Log into Facebook.
  2. In the top-right corner click on Account and go to Privacy Settings.
  3. Click “customize settings” (toward the bottom-middle of your screen).
  4. Look for the section titled “Things others share.” The permission you accidentally gave Facebook to use facial recognition suggestions is located in the “Suggest photos of me to friends” option. Click on “Edit Settings” to change that.
  5. Choose “Disabled” and then push “OK.”

images Did you know that Facebook has agreed to let a third party advertiser use your posted pictures without your permission? If that’s not cool with you, just update your settings like this:

  • Click on SETTINGS up where you see the log out link.
  • Select PRIVACY – Manage.
  • Select NEWS FEEDS AND WALL.
  • Select the tab that reads FACEBOOK ADS.
  • There is a drop down box, select NO ONE.
  • Save your changes.

Nothing to it!
