Someone has MY photo on their facebook page without permission - what can I do?

binxyboo · Sep 12th, 2011, 10:40 AM

I discovered a facebook page that does photoshopping and they have one of my photos (that they have shopped a bit) in their albums.
It is a family photo of myself, hubby and LO at halloween last year.
I have asked them 3 times in the last 48 hours to remove the photo as they did not have permission to take it.
I am guessing they were a facebook friend at sometime (I have had a few culls over recent months) and decided to just take my photo without permission.

They have now blocked me from commenting on thei wall or messaging them.
How do I go about reporting it to Facebook?
I do not appreciate someone stealing my pictures and putting them on their pages where I am not able to put restrictions on who views it.

omg that is awful.
is it a page or something?

If it has your child in you can get it removed but need to have access to the picture. Could you go through your oh's profile and report it?

Thanks Kala - I will try that. When it says 'report this picture'what do you then report it as. there doesn't seem to be an option for 'Its mine'!

right - had a closer look and managed to report the photo as my intellectual property. Hopefully something will be done about it.

What you can do on each of your photo albums is set the album to only family can see it. I know that you shouldnt have to do that but if you have family you want to keep in touch with then thats the other option so you shouldnt have to delete the pics... Grrr *******s!!!
