Facebook announced the launch of a pilot program in India that protects users' profile images from different uses that other individuals may have on the Web. This program is called "Photo Guard" or Photo Guard, the latter with a range of features including:
Prevent other users from uploading your own photos or sharing them with others.
Prevent other individuals on the network from doing tagging for your personal photos with other users.
Prevent site users from taking screenshots of your photos on the web.
When you enable this feature on your account, the site displays a blue frame around your profile picture with a white shield in its middle, preventing the rest of your users from snooping on your own photos.

"Some women prefer not to publish their own pictures on the Facebook platform," the company said in a blog post on its website. "They are worried that these images may be used as soon as they are published."
The site also believes that this feature will help many users on the platform, noting that there is some studies that 75% of users prefer to publish their photos under the presence of the presence of "Photo Guard" on the platform site.
The service is currently available only in India, but Facebook aspires to be deployed across the world in the near future.
