My DH's aunt shared one of his photos and posted it on her fb page. The photo is of my 18month old son. I kindly asked her to remove it from her fb page.
Did I do the right thing?
#1- you should ask to use someone else's photo
#2- I don't want my son all over the internet.
Right? Or should I have just ignored it?
Re: WWYD- Stealing FB photos
Very True..LOL
I guess its more that she didn't ask. Plus I don't want 1/2 the family seeing him.

Whatever the digital image equivilant of caveat emptor is, it applies here.
You take your chances when you post things in cyberspace. It will live forever.
This. She probably didn't think anything of it and just wanted to show off her nephews cute kid.
Has PP said he already is all over. She can (if she is your friend or your DH's) take the pics and do whatever she wants with them. All she has to do is right click the picture and save it to her desktop.
My MIL always goes on my page and saves pics from my facebook to her computer and makes Cannon photo albums and gives them to her sisters and mother. Meh doesn't bother me. She's a proud grandma. She has every right to have pics of her grandson. So would my aunt. But that is my OP.
Thank you My fb page is locked down. She is not my friend. She is my husbands friend.
Eh, she probably should have asked.
Clearly I have no qualms about AWing my kid to the whole of the interwebz, but I get really annoyed when my creepy uncle steals pics from my FB albums without asking and posts them to his page right next to his latest batch of pic of Hooters waitresses. It skeeves me out. But I feel like I can't tell him to stop because we're the closest family he has living.
Removed photo Thanks ladies
Tried to update my avatar, but TSB (The stupid bump) won't let me .

Now that I would find weird. Are you guys super close though? Maybe she was just really excited?
Either way, pretty weird.
Hmm.. my sister and my parents "steal" my pictures of DD all the time. My Dad made a collage of all 4 grandchildren for his profile picture. It's never occurred to me to be bothered by it.
DH's aunt... that's a bit odd to me. I think asking nicely is fine.
Yes, we're close and she was just super excited, but I was totally weirded out and told her so. She apologized and took it down.

It's whatever you think is right.
That stuff doesn't really bother me. I don't put anything up on FB that I don't mind someone reposting. My family all have Picasa Web Albums that are open and I have a ton more pics on there than on FB. I also let our photographers use our pics on their websites/blogs.
My in laws "share" photos of DS all the time, change their profile pictures to his and everything. I don't think anything of it. They're just showing off their grandkid.
Surely there is something under privacy settings that disables your photos from being downloaded or shared?
This is why I use my pup as my siggy, and rarely post pix of E online.
