3 different friends on my Facebook account had this. They are not friends with each other, so I figured it might be legit. If it's not, please let me know.
ALERT: Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers use your posted pictures without your permission. Click on "Settings" up at the top where you see the "Logout" link. Select "Privacy". Then select "News Feed and Wall". Next, select the tab that reads "Facebook Ads". In the drop down box, select "No One". Then save your changes. Do it now
Until next time...

Hubs alerted me too. Thanks.
Snopes.com is still researching this to see if it is for real or not.
Thanks for sharing this..whether or not it's true.. it's still good to go through your privacy stuff and make sure it's all set right.
Here is a link to facebook's blog where they are saying that's not true. http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=110636457130
However, it seemed like a good idea to say no and keep your privacy so I turned mine off the first time I heard about this, just in case.
Oops, I hit post and I didn't mean to. I don't think it's necessarily that Facebook is behind the using of pictures, but I do think if you can change your privacy settings so that your pictures aren't in other ads, then it would be a good idea... couldn't hurt, right? :)
