San Francisco:  Facebook will now let you pre-approve photos before your friends can post them with your name attached.

Currently, your friends can add your name to a photo without your consent or knowledge. You can remove it later, but only after lots of others may have seen the embarrassing shots. Now, you can insist on pre-approval.

This won't affect whether your friends can add a photo of you, only whether your name is attached to it. That affects how easily people can search for the photo based on your name.

Now the telecom operators will have to take your explicit permission before activating any chargeable service on your mobile phone, as per TRAI order issued on Monday.

The order follows complaints from the subscribers that mobile companies were activating service on the phone without taking their clear consent.

“The service provider shall obtain confirmation from the consumer through consumer originated sms or e-mail or fax or in writing within twenty four hours of activation of the value added service and charge the consumer only if the confirmation is received from him for such value added service and shall discontinue such value added service if no confirmation is received from the consumer,” said TRAI.
