Question: I'm married with kids in my 30's. I have a facebook account. This past weekend my husband and I went out on a "date" for the first time in almost a year, to a relatives for a fire/party they were having. I brought my camera, and like many others took photos during the night. Most of my relatives etc are friends of mine of facebook and we were joking about how funny the pictures will be etc... There were some people there that I didn't know- that were from a relatives place of employment. Many of them were younger kids (in their early 20s)... well obviously some pictures with them in it ended up because i just uploaded all of my images from that night... but since I don't know them, they aren't friends of mine on facebook and I didn't know their names- so I didn't tag them in the photos. But the relative who knew them did tag them- so they all realized they were tagged in photos. Today I opened up my facebook account to find 3 seperate emails from 3 different people demanding I remove a certain photo with them in it. (We were all doing the beer bong and I took a photo of each person doing it and thats the one they all want removed). They all gave excuses, "My ex is a friend and is throwing a fit" and I think, "Well why the hell is your ex a friend on facebook?".. another girl is flipped out because her family will see it and her parents will be angry (ok- but then dont beer bong?) So I am at dilemma here. I have un-tagged them all..... and i set my photoalbums to friends only.... should I just take the photos down? or am I right- and should just leave them up? It's not like i was breaking in on them using the bathroom and snapping photos and posting them...
I agree it is common courtesy- but at the same time- I don't want to be an enabler either. I don't hide things to certain groups of people. I'm sorry if the girl is supposed to be "mormon" and not drink- She shouldn't have been drinking then. I kinda feel like "not my problem!" There are reasons why you should be smart about facebook and not add your bosses etc as friends. besides- she isnt tagged in the photos anymore and only my friends can see the pics- so i dont feel like it's her business... some of the pictures she just happens to be in the background of the photo.. and i'm not taKing down all of my pictures because her boyfriend wouldn't approve that she went out and got drunk while he was gone for the weekend.... once again- NOT MY PROBLEM-
