Your default Facebook privacy settings allow friends to tag you in
pictures, which then appear in your Photos section and on your Timeline.
Because tagged images were uploaded by others, you can't delete them if
they're unflattering. However, you can untag yourself, a procedure
which removes the photo from your profile. You can also change your
privacy settings to control how tags are handled in the future.
