DownloadSquad And Facebook Users Get Confused About Facebook's Advertising Policy

Yes, Facebook can use your image within advertisements on their site but not the ones that DownloadSquad illustrates in their article about whoring out user photos. The information used for the photos were scraped while accessing Facebook applications by a third-party ad network that most likely violated Facebook’s terms of service. It’s a serious problem and one that I’ve highlighted many times.

Following Download Squad’s instructions will not solve the problem. That’s because ad networks do not check to see the setting that Download Squad explains how to modify.
