McAfee Social Protection Locks Down Your Facebook Photos

[Pugsworth]

Right click image > inspect element > copy url.

Same bullshit that Flickr does to prevent people from downloading images.

For the last time:
[B]The image isn't displayed fully in the browser! You need a third party external program that will properly display the image.[/B]

So, sharing and viewing protected pictures requires a third party program, and said pictures are uploaded on a different server than Facebook. Why the fuck is Facebook even needed? Why would you want to pollute your account by posting pictures that will appear blurry to most people?

[fruxodaily]

if you know it'll affect you or it's really bad, don't post/upload it???

[tratzzz]

Seems similiar to that privly shit. Just worse.

Yea good luck with that.
That's not even physically possible.

[Fatfatfatty]

let the hardware do the screenshotting instead of the software? :v

I like it when companies waste their time and resources for something stupid.

I mean I guess it's nice of them to try, for anyone who would want to protect their photos like this, but anyone who worked at that company and knew how computers work (I'm pretty sure they should lol) should have just told them when the idea came up "Uhh, yeah that's easily bypassable in about a hundred ways that we can't circumvent."

[quote] Photos are encrypted so they cannot be copied, printed, or have screenshots taken of them, and only the friends you invite to see them are able to see them--all others see blurry renditions of your photos. [/quote]
So in other words, you install this program, and your friends install this program, so you can send the picture to those FEW SACRED you trust with that image.

If a picture is so incriminating you're willing to send it through an encrypted program(despite the fact that it can be fooled) to show those few friends you trust with it, perhaps you, oh, gee, I dunno, DON'T FUCKING SHARE IT.

[Map in a box]

It'd be a fun side-project to make a bypasser. So do do it, I'm bored.

It's only sad if only one person does it. In this case, everyone but you does it, so you're fucking sad.

I mean, I could maybe use this for pictures of when I've gotten bodypainted. Those are some awesome photos.

If it weren't by-passable by the easiest methods. Besides, a lot of the photographers have their own sites that are password protected.

You'd be able to easily work around this by using a screen video recorder.

They might "specialize in computer security," but it doesn't help when they make such a useless thing.

[QUOTE=markg06;37152387]I think an easier solution would be not to upload any incriminating photos to facebook but whatever that's just me.[/QUOTE]

If you're at some party, chances are some other person is going to take a picture of you doing something. Not necessarily intentionally (you'd probably be in the background) but it's still a picture of you.

The easiest solution would be to not do that kind of shit in the first place.
