"If you start to see a lot of blurred photos on Facebook this fall, here's the reason why.\nStarting at the end of August, McAfee will be making it a little safer to share your photos on the social network. The security company is launching a product called Social Protection, which lets you control who can see your photos on the site and prevents people from downloading those pictures to view elsewhere.\nA collaboration between Intel and McAfee, the browser plug-in shows your photos as blurs \u2014 until your recipients also install the plug-in. \nWhen someone views your pictures using Social Protection they will be prevented from downloading or sharing those pictures. Much more sophisticated than just preventing dragging and dropping a snapshot from Facebook to a desktop, Social Protection also prevents you from capturing a screenshot of the image, displaying a padlock icon over the picture if someone makes an attempt.\n\nIn addition to keeping your photos safe, the plug-in will also help keep your identity safe. Facial recognition software will alert you in anyone in your network uploads a photo to Facebook that looks like it might be you and doesn\u2019t tag you in it. \nIf you\u2019re doing something you\u2019d like to keep hidden from the world in the photo, you can ask your friend to take it down quickly before you\u2019re tagged.\nThe plug-in will first be available for Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome on PCs at the end of August, with support coming for Macs soon after and for iOS and Android by the end of the year. \nProtected photos will require others to also download the plug-in in order to view them, which means that person has to restart his or her browser after the install process. A process that will likely deter many from viewing your pictures altogether, especially at launch where the service will only be available for PC users.\nWhat do you think of the idea of Social Protection? Would you want to keep the photos you upload to Facebook protected from downloads? Let us know your thoughts in the comments."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
