[Leica] Facebook privacity

[montoid at earthlink.net (Montie)]

It's a conundrum, Lluis. I think that even subscription based
protection (Digimarc etc.) can not penetrate sites like facebook,
and other password protected areas.  :-(

>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?
