Facebook has added new privacy options that we recommend enabling. The first is a feature called Profile Review. This lets users preview posts other users tag them in. Since rogue Facebook applications can tag users in posts, this is a great way to prevent bogus posts from spreading. The second option is called Tag Review. Follow the instructions below to ensure both are enabled.
To enable Profile Review, click Account > Privacy Settings:
Click the Edit Settings link to the right of How Tags Work:
Your Profile Review option will show as Off. Click it to turn this option On:
Now click the Turn On Profile Review button:
When you’re finished, you should see that Profile Review is now On:
Your Tag Review option just under Profile Review should now be on as well. This lets you review any tags a friend might add to your posts, such as pictures you have uploaded.

I am a Software Developer, System Administrator, and consignment software specialist. I currently manage hundreds of consignment workstations, point of sale systems, and database servers all across North America and I am the developer of Peeps' Software, Peeps2Go, and Peeps' Consignor Login for iOS and Android. I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010. Peeps' Software launched in 2016 and is now on hundreds of systems all across North America. I have successfully converted dozens of stores from all of the major consignment software systems. After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.
