Can I control who "shares" my photos? Id really just like to give permission first. Can I force people to tag me? By people I of course mean MIL.
I posted a whole album of lo's holiday photo shoot. She copied one and reposted, but with a frame and filter. Can I keep people from copying my photos at all? She's usually not a problem but I'm annoyed right now.

Put her on limited profile and never allow limited profile to see your photos!!! There is a privacy setting where you have to give acknowledgement when you are tagged before it shows

Also - you can report a photo and the reason option is "This photo includes me" or something like that.

You can't control any of that unfortunately. The only thing you can do is not allow her access to your pictures or talk to her.

Darn it.
Definetly can't limit profile her. We have a good relationship overall. Facebook is just annoying in general and I wish I could quit.

@babycanuck: she's on Instagram too, but I guess she can't steal my photos there?
I really only continue to use Facebook to share stuff with friends and family, but ugh, I really have mixed feelings about it.
If I leave then I also won't be able to see what she (and my mom, and my sister) post about LO.

I wish I could not allow sharing too. Thankfully my MIL doesn't know that no one can see my stuff when she shares and I'm not informing her!

@Dandelion: what do you mean no one can see your stuff when she shares?
I sent her a message and asked her what she did, saying I didn't know people could take my photos without permission and edit them. She apologized (I have asked her before to please always tag me, even when sharing her own pictures of LO). She said she forgot and she had just downloaded and was playing with the snap seed app.

@cmomma17: if you're my fb friend and click "share" under my pics only people who I am friends with can see them. MIL doesn't download like yours does. She has no clue.

Also worth noting, anyone can screen shot and crop, edit or share. So Instagram is not foolproof.

@Dandelion: My MIL just figured this out and asked my DH about it...he told her we did it on purpose because we didn't want everyone seeing the pictures.
The next day, I changed my profile pic (which was public) and she shared that pic. WTF...we JUST told you we didn't want the pictures shared. Ugh!
@cmomma17: I totally get you on being annoyed. I understand that when I post pictures, technically, they are accessible but that doesn't mean I want them shoved in peoples faces I don't know.

@sorrycharlie: my stepdaughter does this all the time! We couldn't figure out how she was "re tweeting" all of our Instagram pics (not that we minded in her case, we we're just curious!). Duh, screen shot.

@cmomma17: My SIL shares my photos all the time. I hate it. I was told that if your settings are only friends can see pictures you post, when they share it, only your mutual friends can see it when they share it.

@Dandelion: Oooh, where is that setting?! I make my pictures visible to friends only, but as far as I knew, once a friend shares, it's subject to their privacy settings, not mine. It would be awesome to make it friends only, ever!! Please share!

@Dandelion: my dad has no clue too! He asks if he can share my pice. Lol no one can see them unless they are my friend!

@cmomma17: there's nothing you can do to disable someone from sharing your pictures. We had a huge battle over this with MIL (she kept "forgetting" our rule) so finally I started specifically blocking her from seeing the pictures. Click on the little gear wheel when posting and choose who can see it, like "friends only" and also type in her name for who can NOT see it. I didn't want to downgrade her from full friend status but she kept crossing the line.
@Smurfette: have you tried that? Did it work for you? When I put "friends only" and my MIL shared it got comments from her friends that I'm not friends with.

@JoyfulKiwi: I haven't tested it yet but I have noticed that if I don't tag DH in the picture that only people I know ever like the picture......but not sure if others can see or not.

There is a setting also when you tag someone that it shares with their friends as well. You can uncheck that when you're doing your tagging.

@indi: I'm pretty sure when you set it friends only it stays that way when shared. If you look through settings it's in there.

@JoyfulKiwi: I did that with my grandpa. Thankfully, since I set up his fb, I had the pw, so I just logged into his settings and made all of his stuff friends only as well (they were public shares!). I was getting random comments from his friends that I didn't know. That's how I understood share privacy as well, but I'll definitely try looking around the settings again like @Dandelion: mentioned. They really need to provide a way to make items "unshareable".
