Do I have any way of blocking a photo someone has posted of me on Facebook. I guess asking someone who delights in Facebook to take it down would be considered hostile?

Can you report it? I don't know if there is a way but I bet there is.

I don't think you can block it from others if someone else posted it. If I didn't want it up there, I'd ask the poster to take it down and wouldn't care whether they thought it was hostile or not.

You can untag yourself from it.

Just nicely ask them to take it down. It isn't necessarily a hostile request unless you phrase it in hostile words.
You can block it and untag you but neither of those remove the photo from being seen by anyone but you. Untagging won't take it off your newsfeed it just means those who see and don't know you won't have a name associated with your face.

There is a way in settings that when a person tags you before it will show up you have to give them permission. I had a niece that would tag me in everything so I changed my settings and it would ask to add to my time line and I would just say no.

Fyi that will only keep it off your timeline, it won't keep mutual friends or anyone else from seeing it (depending on the poster's settings). You can untag it or report it. My MIL is famous for passing unflattering pics and tagging them. It's so annoying. |

I had a sister in law who did that all the time. I got rid of Facebook and rarely see her so no more pics to worry about.  |

I had a niece that would tag me in everything so I changed my settings and it would ask to add to my time line and I would just say no. The picture still posts to your nieces friends. It just doesn't post to you or with your name on it. If you want someone to not post pictures of you the only recourse you have is to ask them to not do it. You can ask facebook to not allow it but don't be surprised if nothing is done about it through that channel. |

I was actually on the other side of that once upon a time. I posted some pictures of a family reunion that included what I thought was a very flattering picture of my SIL.
A couple of days later I had a private message from her that said 'take that g**d*** picture off my f***ing wall'
At first I didn't even know what she was talking about and I thought she was joking. When I found out she was serious, I apologized profusely, took it down immediately and then began sorting out what she could have seen in that picture that would cause such a harsh reaction. I still don't know, but to this day, her response that day changed our relationship.
So unless you respond like that, I don't think asking to take a picture down is hostile. You have every right to decide what pictures of yourself you display and which you don't.

I am crippled with fear every time I get a notification saying someone has tagged me in a photo.

I had to go "mama bear" on our youth minister at church because of a pic he posted of my child. I called him immediately and pretty much demanded he take it down. Definitely affected our relationship. After a few other incidents, we ended up just severing the relationship totally.
I would just ask nicely for her to delete it if you are the only person in it. If it is just a bad pic, I would ask her not to tag (or to untag) you.

My daughter in law can not stand having photos posted on FB unless she posts them herself. I've gotten into quite a bit of trouble posting what I thought were beautiful pictures! Of course she doesn't want me posting photos of my granddaughter either but we've come to an agreement where I can post a few.

I'm considering deleting my facebook. It brings me trouble that upsets me. My ability to ignore things is diminishing.

I went through this 2 years ago with vbs. I asked nicely sand when I was ignored I sent stern emails reminding them I did not sign releases. The photos were removed.

I completely deleted my fb a while back and so glad I did. Yeah, I get flack from people (friends and family) for not being on there, but posts like this remind me why life can be simpler with out fb. Like others say, unless that person decides to remove the photo, it will still exist out there whether you are tagged on it or not.  |

Can I ask what is the big deal of people posting photos on FB? I have never been bothered by it. And honestly they don't need to get a release or anything like that to do so, lol. Even a church. It is a public place and there is no guaranteed privacy. Deleting your FB isn't going to stop people from posting photos.

I believe that you can notify facebook that there is a photo of you that you do not want posted.
I don't really want to be tagged, but it won't post to my timeline unless I allow it to.
ETA: I fully agree with Scrappower

Either don't pose for photos if you know you're so nit picky about how you'll look or quickly untag yourself. I had a friend that set up her page to approve pics and honestly I just found that weird. |

In the case of vbs they were being posted to personal pages rather than an official chapel page. 1300 unknown people had access to pics of !me asndf my kids.

I don't find it hostile to ask someone to remove a photo of you - unless I guess it was a photo of their kid and you or something like their wedding photo with you in it.

The law comes down on the side of "expectation of privacy" for the venue the photo was taken in. A VBS has no expectation of privacy. It is a public event that anyone can walk into. Places covered under the expectation of privacy are going to be inside private residences, dressing rooms, bathrooms. Schools and churches normally do ask for releases but it isn't required of them to have them. It wasn't required of the people you made demands of either. It just wasn't worth their time/effort to defend their rights if you decided to sue. They would have won but it would cost them to defend themselves. Not worth the hassle. Doesn't mean you were right. |

If I pose for a photo, that's different. I'm talking about those unflattering pics where you are eating something or bent over. Some people have no photo etiquette. The photos are there just to humiliate or embarrass someone (and probably not intentionally...they are just the type of people that share everything). I don't like a lot of personal info on the net and that includes photos of myself or my family. Personal preference. Can I prevent people from doing it? Nope. But that doesn't mean I can't limit the amount of information shared on MY page kwim? |

I sit somewhere in the middle. I do understand it's legal. And yet I also realize that these are people's kids. I am not going to post pictures of people's children for everyone on my friend's list to see without permission. It just doesn't feel right to me.
