Facebook users can now breathe a little easier, knowing that embarrassing high school photos or incriminating party snapshots will not surface on their profile pages if they don't want them to.

Thanks to revamped privacy controls on the popular social networking site, Facebook users will now have greater control over who sees content about them.

The ability to approve or reject "tagged" photos in which one appears is one of several changes Facebook is set to roll out in the coming days.

Other modifications to the site will now allow users to: change who can see their posts (even after the post is live), easily see what their profile page looks like to others and control who can see individual items of content such parts of the users' profiles or their posts using a drop-down menu.

"Your profile should feel like your home on the web -- you should never feel like stuff appears there that you don't want, and you should never wonder who sees what's there," said Chris Cox, the social networking company's vice president of product, in a post on the official Facebook Blog Tuesday.
