Facebook users can tag other people in photos they post to albums. Currently, tagged people can confirm or reject tags, but analyzing this issue using a 4-step method suggests photo tagging should be re-confirmed by the tagged person to protect privacy and uphold their rights, as automatic tagging could disrespect them if they are tagged without consenting. The long-term strategy would be to allow users to select global tagging preferences to control whether they can be tagged at all.

1. 4 step analysis
step1:
Major facts: fb user posts photos onto album user can tag the person in the
photo with their names , people being tagged can confrim or reject the tagging
Major stakeholders (4): fb user, facebook, adverstisers, non-fb users being
tagged
step2: (one dilemma)
Major dilemma: to protect personal privacy, photo tagging should be re-
confirmed by the one being tagged
step3:
Benefit / harms: to re-confirm the photo tagging would increase the benefits
and reduce the harms to the one being tagged
Rights / duties: to re-confirm the photo tagging would uphold the rights of the
one being tagged and to exercise the duties of the fb users seeking consents
Disrespect / fairness: it is fair to the fb user as he/she may be tagged by
someone else. So, to re-confirm would reduce disrespect
step4;
Decision: photo-tagging should be re-confirmed by the one being tagged
Implementation steps: 1. facebook to modify the function
2. facebook to announce the changes in tagging
procedures
Long-term strategy: allow fb users select global parameters (set one time) to
welcome/stop being tagged
