It's supposed to be for tagging convenience, but really isn't this straying into big brother territory, especially since they didn't ask permission? Users can manually adjust the settings of their account so they're names won't automatically become suggested tags to photos, but again, the users who take the least precautions in social networking are minors: the ones most at risk from this.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
