Well, here's another reminder that if you do not want to share your photos, personal or raunchy ones that is, then stop posting it on your Facebook or social networking accounts.
You can always do it a lot of other personal storage hosts and if they are really personal then keep it in your archives which is non accessible and retrievable by any Tom, D!ck or Harry (TDH).
I just cannot stress how important it is and if you are still not convinced try being in the shoes of this promising model who had all her personal revealing honeymoon photos spread across the internet.
So here's the old adage again: "Don't do anything that you will regret later."

There is also a privacy option in Facebook to limit who sees an album or photo. It usually avoids problems like this. Unfortunately, this girl might not have been very tech savvy. But I think it's just common sense that if it's something very private, it shouldn't even be on the internet just like that.

sonnetsixtynine,
I just like to dispel a common misconception here and that is about the privacy option setting.
Till date, Facebook accounts are still being breached and hacked. Please do not forget that this is a social networking site, all it needs is a member in your network to be breached, "accept" a hacker into their account and the rest will be self explanatory.
Also, there are already instances that account holders are not who they really are, where we have actual hard core criminals, rapist and even pedophiles there.
So, I would really throw caution to the wind, here.

I have personal pics on my FB BUT I also have my account set to Only Friends which is just logical as far as I'm concerned...and if ppl are really THAT worried then just dont put pic ANYWHERE online in the first place! If you want friends to see them have them come over or email them to them, dont put them in an online photo album.
