Unwanted photos of yourself on social media

00:34 24.11.2023

In recent news, Facebook users have been facing issues with unwelcome pictures and fake accounts on the platform. One 81-year-old lady named Sheila shared her distressing experience of encountering inappropriate photos and unfamiliar names on her Facebook page. Seeking help, she expressed her frustration and pleaded for assistance in getting rid of these unwelcome elements.

In response, experts have stepped forward to offer guidance on removing unwanted photos from Facebook pages and reporting fake accounts that may be spamming or hacking users. They recommend following a simple step-by-step process to report and hide distasteful photos. Users are advised to open the photo they want to delete, click the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, select Report photo from the menu, and follow the instructions to report it to Facebook. If the photo still appears after reporting, users can hide it from their page by selecting Hide post from the menu that appears.

Similarly, users are urged to report any unknown names on their friend list as they may be fake accounts created by spammers or hackers. By going to the profile of the suspicious account, users can report it to Facebook and then unfriend it by clicking the Friends button and selecting Unfriend from the menu.

Additionally, experts highlight the importance of protecting oneself from malvertising on Facebook, which refers to photos containing malicious code or links that can infect devices or compromise privacy. To avoid falling victim to malvertising, users are advised to have reliable antivirus software installed on their devices. This software actively runs and alerts users of any malware in their system, warns against clicking on malicious links, and ultimately protects them from being hacked.
