Prevent Facebook Ads From Using Your Photos

« on: July 25, 2009, 05:21:47 PM »
While using a third-party app, a man saw a dating site ad that featured his with his wife’s picture. No, she wasn’t looking for a lover. Her picture had been used by an ad network without permission.

Facebook has a program for advertisers called Social Ads, under which it may show ads to your friends with your picture included if you have associated yourself with the advertiser by, say, becoming a fan of its Facebook page.

You can’t do anything to stop unscrupulous apps. But you can prevent your pictures from being used by them.

Here's how:


Go to "Privacy Settings" under the "Settings" Menu


Click on the "News Feed and Wall" link


Select the "Facebook Ads" tab, and
Choose "No one" in the Appear in Facebook Ads field.

Save the changes and you're done!
