privacy and social media
There’s been a lot of noise raised about the privacy issues that Facebook has created because of some of its changes. These concerns are valid one to have, but people do need to remember that although they aren’t paying money to Facebook to have an account, they are paying in data to have that account, specifically their own data, which Facebook uses to provide information to companies that use their services. The most obvious application of that is the ads that any business can create, which allow businesses to target people in specific demographics if they so choose.

You can also untag yourself on any pictures you don't want to be associated with. I think unless given permission ahead of time, a child should not be labeled in a caption. It is pretty normal to link your friends. I am rather vain and I untag pictures of myself that I don't find flattering (my eyes are closed or squinting, etc.) Facebook does give you options for privacy, but they are not the default. My boss insisted I fan our company page, but I was worried about him seeing my pictures, luckily, fan pages do not have permissions to see their fans' pictures, etc if it is protected under the privacy settings to friends only or friends and friends of friends only.
