This isn't a question so much as advice/info.
I'm sure everyone knows about Faecesbook's well earned reputation for diddling about with users' privacy settings without letting them know.
The lastest violation is the enabling of photo tagging in photographs of people who "look like" you using facial recognition !
This site explains all and how to fix it:

Mine wasn't (it is now) - I'm going to do a Google image search to see if I've been the subject of any unauthorised tagging !
Facebook don't think about our privacy at all! It scans all our correspondence and can even ask you to send your new photo in order to prove it's you. I feel not safe using it anymore.
