Facebook allows you to
share as much or as little detail about yourself
as you like. Most of us are careful and don't
upload questionable, racy or potentially embarrassing photos to Facebook
. However, we can't count on our Facebook friends to show the same discretion. If a friend uploads a photo you're in but would rather not be associated with, you can easily
untag Facebook photos
so your Facebook friends won't likely see. You can also choose to
set all Facebook photos of you to private
