I know what it is. the lady posted a pic of his grandkid and shopped it so they were getting a immunization shot
Texas, I spend 6 years of my life doing licensing negotiations for a major corporation. I can tell you that their TOS gives them permission to re-use, for commercial use, photos you post on Facebook. This right is non-exclusive, meaning that you retain the rights to use them, for profit, including selling those same rights to others, of those pictures (I would have to dig deeper, but you have probably given up your right to sell exclusive use of those photos.) But they definitely have the right to post those pictures for commercial use.
In other words, Facebook could take a photo of yours and put it on a billboard advertising Facebook, or one of it's partners.
No, this is not a troll thread.
Have you ever created anything? Wrote an article, ran a website, made a video?
Ever made anything that you wanted to protect?
Post in public, expect the public to use it.
You're mad because they re-posted Facebook's property on Facebook?

If you don't want your pictures in the wild, don't post them on facebook.
Its about the same type of TOS youtube has.
I grant them non-exclusive rights, and I retain ownership of the material.
etc, etc, ad nauseum, ad infinitum....
Yes, most social media type sites have a similar TOS. It saves them from a lot of litigation, and gives them a treasure trove of media (to mine). There is some real questions that need to be answered by courts concerning the legality of these umbrella contracts as they relate to minors and other people unable to legally enter into a contract, but for the most part the courts have held these contracts as good.
Aren't you supposed to be finding an vaccine for some rare disease nobody ever catches?
When are we going to get a chicken vaccine for rabies?
so, like, trying to figure out why Y chromosomes are so fucking degenerate, and stuff.
Uploading a video to youtube, or anything to facebook does not mean I relinquish my property rights.
When someone downloads that video or image and re-uploads it, I lose control of the content.
As the property owner, I have to retain control.
Do you think there is any truth to the double xx or double yy theory in humans?
Such as xxy, or yyx.

Sharing Your Content and Information
You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

It is pretty obvious that most of you in this thread are not photographers that care about IP laws.
By posting a picture onto Facebook, they are able to use your pictures on their site and any related opportunities. However, that does not mean that an unrelated third party (versus second party) can copy your pictures and claim them as their own.
When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
No, you are extending use rights. You have only lost one right, the right to exclusivity, but that right is always lost in a public use case.Uploading a video to youtube, or anything to facebook does not mean I relinquish my property rights.
When someone downloads that video or image and re-uploads it, I lose control of the content.

Also, other Facebook users are not "unrelated third parties".
You missed out part 4.
Facebook respects the intellectual property rights of others and is committed to helping third parties protect their rights. Our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities prohibits users from posting content that violates another party's intellectual property rights. When we receive a valid notice of IP infringement, we promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We also terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Unless you can show me in writing where the license is transferred, they are unrelated third parties when it comes to this situation.
When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
In other words, A-OK to collect users' content or information manually.You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access Facebook, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our prior permission.
You still own the content though, and unless you can show me where there is a license between either the content owner or Facebook and the unrelated person who posted these pictures, none of that matters. OP should technically be able to get the pictures removed through this:

How do you figure the image belonged to facebook?
When you upload an image or video to a website like youtube or facebook, you grant the site non-exclusive rights to the material.
When you upload a video or image to a site, you do not release your Intellectual Property rights. You retain ownership of the material.
Where is your car or truck parked at right now? Is it where the public can see it? Would it be ok if someone took your car/suv/truck without permission?
Been posted about 5 times in this thread so far:

This amounts to a global contract with the IP holder to transfer all use licenses to everyone else in the world.
EDIT: Think about this, every time someone likes a photo it appears on their wall or timeline. If you didn't get a use license that would be a copyright infringement, every single time. Facebook would not be possible at all under the conditions you are trying to imply.
Ok. On second glance that is probably right. Simple solution, change from Public (if that was even the case at first) and go after them through https://www.facebook.com/legal/copyright.php?howto_report
