[Leica] Facebook privacity

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Lluis,

Here is what I think happened.  Last night when I clicked on your photo, it
came up with a sidebar titled "sponsored".  In this sidebar was the
announcement about the prizefight.  I was just struck by the contrast
between that and one of the most beautiful photos I have seen in a while.
Today, when I clicked on the image only a sidebar with comments came up.  I
think when FB says "sponsored", it is not saying that the advertiser
sponsored your photo.  Instead I think it is just showing various ads in
case someone wanted to look at them.   

So, I clicked on one of my FB photos:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200897285782093&set=a.102008972855
42087.1073741827.1463492767&type=1&theater
It has a sidebar for comments and "sponsored" by VA Benefits for Spouses and
others.  So, I conclude that FB is just showing ads and not necessarily
claiming that anyone has sponsored the photo. However, metadata for the
photo I uploaded to FB shows: Copyright Notice: (c)Kenneth L. Carney;
Copyright Status: Copyrighted; Rights Usage Terms: All Rights Reserved.  The
photo as downloaded from FB just now shows: Copyright Notice: blank;
Copyright Status: Unknown; Rights Usage Terms: blank.  Oddly enough, my
message uploading the photo shows "(c)Kenneth L. Carney".  

I wish I could add more, but I think you are correct about the watermark.

Best,

Ken

Thank to Ken Carney I know that one of my pictures has appeared on his FB
page as sponsored by  Mayweather v. Canelo.

Ken has kindly commented "On my FB page it shows up as sponsored by
Mayweather v. Canelo, two thugs trying to beat each other to death in a
prize fight. End of rant.!

For those don't have FB, this is the picture:

Some days ago Tina and BD has informed about the new FB Rules

<http://asmp.org/fb-tos#%2EUjPeubyhCb>

BD Colen has posted in the same sense:

<http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/09/08/american-society-of-media-photograp
hers-warns-about-new-facebook-t-cs?utm_campaign=internal-link&utm_source=new
s-list&utm_medium=text&ref=title_0_6>.

WHAT I'VE DO 

1.- First at all I've search in FB and Google who are and which is the
content of  "Mayweather v. Canelo", this is about Boxing ..! But I didn't
saw my picture

2.- I've do a search in <http://tineye.com> ("Who stolen my pictures"). No
traces.

3.- I've download my picture from FB, and Oh! surprise! all Metadata has
disappeared: Copyright, Tittle, Key words, Author . absolutely everything
was blank!

CONLUSION

The only protection we can have for our images is do the water mark as
visible and big as you can. At this moment I don't know if I'll delete all
my pictures in FB..

A FINAL ADVISE

I have not post the picture directly on FB, I've posted it on Flickr and
I've authorized Flickr to post it in FB, but the loss of the metadata is the
same as it was posted in FB or through Flickr

Any comments, suggestions about?

Thanks for sharing,
 
Saludos cordiales
Lluis
