Hrm. Well I tried a little experiment with my blog that didn’t turn out so well. I set up a plugin that would automagically post news stories (from sites I frequent), as normal posts on my site. Which I thought was a pretty cool idea, until I noticed that it posted roughly 2000 times in the past 24 hours, sometimes up to 10 times for the same story.
Well scratch that idea. Now I get to figure out an easy way to delete all of these.

Can I get photos uploaded to Facebook that include me against my wishes removed if the person who uploaded them will not take them down?
I know this sounds like the height of vanity, but it isn’t.
Someone I am close to has uploaded photographs to Facebook in which I look horrendous. I asked that s/he not upload them but my request was met with hostility and ignored. (This person has some, umm, socialization issues.)
In the past year I have been the target of a very public online attack based on my appearance. I have since become hyper-vigilant regarding what images of me appear online, partly due to trauma and partly due to not wanting to provide additional fodder to that instigator. I have untagged my name but it isn’t difficult to figure out they are images of me, based on other stuff in the photos and tags.
More info: The person who uploaded the images does not have a signed release or anything from me. I am not a celebrity or model. They are just standard digital vacation/family photos I assumed were for personal use or printing, not online sharing. S/he did have my permission to take them, but not share or distribute them. I made my request that they not be published at the time s/he was uploading them, not when they were taken.
Can I get Facebook to remove them, and how would I do that?
