[Social-discuss] Control own privacy, posted by _others_

[Matija Šuklje]

Another problem with existing social networking sites that I see 
increasing lately is that people are maintaining their accounts and log in 
regularly just to make sure no-one posted anything about them that they 
don't agree with (e.g. party photos).

I propose that GNU Social has a option where the everyone would have the 
option to decide whether they want to approve of something publicly posted 
about them or not.

This could be done by e.g. having in the settings an option that would 
say:

Whenever someone tags something (e.g. a photo) with my name on it or posts 
something on my page/"wall"[1] I want:
[] not to be bothered about it.
[] to be informed that it happened, so I can check it out and approve or 
disapprove of it.
[] to be informed about it and that it is not posted until I have approved 
of it.

Perhaps we could also implement a way to offer the user to make the photo 
or data anonymous — e.g. if just one person has disagreed with a group 
photo, there could be a system to just blur out that person's face and 
remove his name tag from the photo.

What do you think about it?


Cheers,
Matija
