Now, I found it hard to believe that this was the case

As much as I distrust Facebook, I can't imagine them being this blatant with user data. The only way to find out was to email Facebook, so I did, asking them the following: Could you let me know if you grant access for media outlets (such as Sky or BBC News) to see user content in the event of tragedies. I ask as I heard a rumour after a recent tragedy in the news where a girl died.


Facebook photos of her appeared very soon afte telemarketing leads, kuwait telephone number data r the incident in news articles (and not just the generic profile pic you can see from Google). I've checked your terms and don't believe that to be the case, so I'm assuming reporters may well just be contacting friends of the person involved and asking for photos for a price. Please get back to me and let me know, as if you do sell photos on to media outlets I'd like to reconsider what photos I and my friends post to Facebook or even whether I [should] have a profile.


Many thanks in advance, Edward I then received this in reply: Hi Edward, Facebook was never intended to be a tool for law enforcement officers, school administrators, potential employers, media outlets to monitor people's actions, but we can't always prevent the site from being used in this way. While these people aren't given any kind of special access to user information, they can still sign up and join networks just like a normal user. By default, only your confirmed friends and people in your networks can view your profile, but you can always restrict access to your information further using the settings on the Privacy page.
