Facebook made that behaviour normal, and it provides tagging and facial recognition to make it easier.

Privacy controls were changing.

Posting to groups is slightly trickier than it needs to be. (I only ever post photos to public or to a single group, but selecting that group takes a couple of clicks).

While I can agree that these problems are not exclusive to Facebook I am far more likely to have the problem on Facebook than other networks because of the sheer size of the FB userbase.

No, that behavior has existed since newspapers started printing pictures. You touch on your real problem with Facebook, and that is its size. That's it.

There's the saying, "Quantity has a quality all its own." Turning a thing from an "occasionally" into an "always" can effectively change the nature of the thing entirely.

Yes, because of the internet, your friends can take pictures of you and share them online. You won't tell them to not take pictures of you, nor will you ask them not to share them online.

That's the internet's responsibility.

If Facebook uses its size to socially engineer users into uploading photos of others, then that's Facebook's responsibility.

Facebook made that behaviour normal

What, before Facebook you never showed up in your friends' photo album? Or your friends just never let anyone see their photo album? Because I know neither of those were true for me.

[DanBC]

My friends' photo albums weren't online or had low pagerank or were otherwise unlikely to return anything for a search of my name.

[sliverstorm]

Most people won't tag you if you don't have an account, and I don't think you will show up in a search even if tagged, if you don't have an account.
