To remove a tag on Facebook, simply look for the tagged photo in your pictures, and then check out the list of names underneath it - everyone who is tagged will appear on that list. When you find your name, you should see an option that says, "Remove Tag" - simply click it, and you're done. There are plenty of good reasons to remove a tag on Facebook.
Reasons To Tighten Up Your Facebook Privacy
• Some photos posted on Facebook are really not appropriate for public consumption - for example, photos of people drinking and partying (especially if you're shown in the photo) can be embarrassing or just slightly vulgar. Also, in the Internet Age, employers or colleges may check people out on Facebook, just to get a sense of who they are as people, and what their online reputation is like. When a prospective employer or college admissions rep sees off-color photographs of you online (because tagged photos are visible to everyone), you may be punished severely by missing out on a job or not getting into the college of your dreams. In general, unless you're a celebrity, or already well-established in your chosen career, it's not a good strategy to reveal too much on your Facebook profile page or tagged photos.
• Tightening up security on Facebook is as easy as "locking down" your profile through the settings found in the Accounts section of your home page. By moving all security settings to the highest levels, you can be sure you are the only one who can view your tagged photos. While certain people may not need such high levels of privacy, they can work well to protect others from revealing too much information on the Internet.
Bear in mind that Facebook often changes its privacy structures - it's good to go into the Accounts area and poke around occasionally, just to make sure the settings are still the same, and still intact.
