My nieces posted some pictures of me on Facebook without my consent. I asked them to remove them and they do not. I don't have a facebook account, nor will I ever. I actually had to hear from someone else that my pictures were on someones Facebook. Clearly it's an invasion of privacy and just another disfunction in society.

No facebook is not facing any lawsuits.

I was the first commentor to point out that it was not illegal. Facebook' s term of use had some pretty good lawyers working on it. But my comment had a bad word in it, and the moderator took it down. It should be up again I was told, because I changed the word to something more suitable for the Times.

I don't think the legal issue will hold, because users must consent to every beacon that is posted. If you don't want it posted just decline the action - no problem.

Sorry I can't help with the legal questions. But I do agree that this is overly aggressive advertising and even without knowing that my picture might be used by the advertiser on their "brand page" I would go nowhere near associating myself in any way with this type of marketing. I'm so sick and tired of everything I do being taken advantage of as a marketing opportunity for some money-grubbing corporation.

And I don't wear logos on my clothes either.
