Can't that happen in Facebook though? I mean, any one of my friends can take a post of mine or a photo and share it with their people. -- nm

Sort of. If I have the privacy set to Friends only, they can't see it -- nm - oblique Jul 1, 07:51 5
- But if I'm in your "Friend" group, can I share the post? - JaxSean Jul 1, 07:56 1
  - Maybe, but the original item security still applies so that only my friends would see it (assuming I set it that way) -- nm - oblique Jul 1, 08:14
- I'm just thinking though...if a friend downloaded one of your photos...then uploaded it to their album...then they share it with everyone they know... - Jim Jul 1, 07:52 2
  - Sure, but technically that's not the same "item" in terms of the security and it shows as your photo, not mine -- nm - oblique Jul 1, 08:14
  - There was a race to find something that could be called a privacy problem. This is the thing they found first. - TFox Jul 1, 07:54
