How I (don't) use Facebook images

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.
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
