I agree with this. From what I can recall from when I used facebook (we
all make mistakes), it has something similar to this, where you
can untag yourself from a photo so it does not show up in "Photos of
me". The person can then manually add in your name on the photo, but it
does not link to you or show up under your photos. I feel that this is a
good way of handling it. The same could be applied to notes and the
like. 

As for blurring out the face, I do not think that this is feasible
without some person looking at the photo and deciding whether it is the
same person.
