I have just found this out from a friend that on Friday, Facebook intend to use your photos in ads that will appear on the profile page of your contacts. It's legal and is mentioned in the fine print when you create your account. TO stop this do the following: Account, Account Settings, Then click on Facebook Ads, choose "No one" on the drop-down menu and save changes.

    Lots of people have been posting on facebook about this, but certainly no harm in spreading the word.
