No it isn't. You just opt out. Simple as that. No need to be overly dramatic. There is enough of that in the world already.
I won't be using this. It will:
- destroy battery life
- use unnecessary data which costs me money
- I don't get any control about when/where it happens
- Hell, I probably don't even know when it happens
- gives Facebook access (+/- ownership
) to ALL my photos, not only the ones I have consented to.
What including the ones when I got drunk and naked and fancied a go on that young pony in the field that time?...
No thanks Facebook!
Phew! my secret was nearly out then....
That's weird. The Google+ app never did any such thing on my iPhone (automatically, that is - the option is available if I wanted to use it).
Facebook is Apple's friend. Their young CEO looked up to Steve and wants to be just like him. Facebook and Apple can make lots of money together. Facebook knows how to monetize identity and to make users give up personal information. Apple knows how to take money from its partners. It is a marriage made in heaven.
Facebook and Apple hit a roadblock a few years ago under Jobs. HP TouchPad and iOS 4.
Yup, disabling this feature as well.
Sounds like it. Storing them for later in case any of it's users become famous or run for political office.
My pictures are my pictures. If I want any of them uploaded to facebooks servers to be made public, I'll do so under my own will.

Or...you could just not social network? Phones do have text messaging, picture messaging and email. So you can either put up with Facebook since everyone knows they dont care, you can mosey over to Google+ or you could just go outside and do something, click the "I do not want to participate or use this feature" or similar named area and get on with your life.
Hell no!
So I take pictures today, for personal use...and FB decides to "update" their "security" settings next month and all of a sudden all my pics become public? NO WAY! I've already been burned by FB security setting changes twice. Not going to play the fool a 3rd time.
