Question

Facebook tags

by Feb 21, 2013 9:49PM PST

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can prevent people from tagging me in their posts on facebook? I want it to be impossible for them to link to my profile in any of their posts (not just photos, but also status updates etc).

Thanks.

I'm afraid that if they can access it (see it) they can link to it also. That's the essence of social media.

all privacy option offered by Facebook? I think it's unlikely, but it might be in it.
