This: https://www.facebook.com/search/4/photos-of is also quite interesting. Did Zuck really want us to see this? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=914230961663

Yes, it's a public photo. But seeing all tagged public photos in one place is a different thing. These photos are not shown when you click "Photos" on his Timeline: https://www.facebook.com/zuck/photos_all




That's interesting. For your friends, there is a "Photos of <friend>" item on their photos page, but for non-friends it doesn't show.

But OTOH, if you're tagged in a public photo, like this case, I'm not sure what expectation of privacy you should have. You can trivially untag yourself.


I just played with the graph search and that thing is creepy and powerful. It pains me that I'm drawn to such tools and I definitely need to stay away from that one.


Thanks for sharing this time suck!:)
