+# How I (don't) use Facebook images
+
+[[!meta date="2012-10-21"]]
+[[!tag img fb blog editorial]]
+
+Dear Facebook friend,
+
+I like you and I am happy that you take/tag/share photos of me, just not
+on Facebook!
+
+I have a Facebook account but [[don't hang out there|msg/facebook]].
+
+Please share your photos in public, not (only) inside Facebook. And
+please consider allowing Free reuse of your photos, by licensing them
+with a Free license like [CC-BY-SA][] or [CC0][].
+
+[CC-BY-SA]: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0

+
+## Here & Now
+
+My suggestion for now is to use Flickr, and license all images as
+"Attribution, share alike".
+
+
+## The Perfect Way
+
+Ideally you would publish the photos on some server that you control,
+like the [[Freedombox|/fb]], but those are unfortunately not yet easy to
+find or use.
+
+## Why not Facebook?
+
+Facebook is a closed system: all activities happen at one central place.
+
+Maybe you don't care who is spying on the photo gallery that you share.
+That's fine - but please respect those of your friends who do care, by
+putting a copy of your photos somewhere with less thirdparty control.
+
+Regards, Jonas
