ARE your Facebook photos set to public? Aus-You might want to rethink your online security and privacy because if there was ever an example of a place you don’t want your photos to turn up without your knowledge it’s this. Dallas Miller was horrified to find out her pictures had been used in suggestive ads for prostitution on free ad-listing website Backpage.com over the weekend. Miller, 21, told ABC affiliate WKRN.com that she absolutely did not create or post an ad on the Web. Instead, she says almost a dozen of her photographs were stolen off her Facebook page and used without her permission. “It’s been tough,” Miller, who lives in the US, told the news outlet of the experience. “I definitely feel victimised.” Backpage.com has reportedly pulled the ads off its site. After Miller’s story made headlines this week, netizens stepped forward to offer support for the young woman and share similar stories. http://www.news.com.au/technolog ... wnfzw-1226867192955
