I find Facebook invaluable to keep in touch with all my cousins, nephews and nieces who are by now in the four corners of the globe. I generally hardly ever post photographs on Facebook, but having your photos misused is a generic complaint, and one that comes with the ability to show your work to a much larger audience via the internet. Make your choice...do you want an ironclad safety by never showing your photos, or accept a modicum of misuse and reach a wider audience? I would prefer the latter any day. YMMV.
