Unless you have a model relase, its not clear you should be publishing the likenesses of others. Facebook is using these images for commercial purposes, period. While this is a devil's argument case, its not without merit.
That's an interesting angle. But presumably if someone comes along and creates a non-commercial FB competitor and people post photos of you there instead, that doesn't really address the real issue here, right?
Non-profits are subject to the same restrictions, it would seem. The red cross cannot sell fake designer goods to raise money "for charity" (and the $1MM CEO salary), etc. Nor can they use the likeness of Rihanna or Beyonce to further their ad campaigns without writen permission.
