is it illegal to have a facebook profile picture that does not show your face?

[Lucy]

people have beentelling me that my facebook profile picture is illegal because it doesnt show my face is this true or not

[Kyara]

Yes, you will go to jail if the police see it

[j90s]

NO! It's not true, some people have DOGS and CARS as their picture.. I'm hoping this is a fake question. You could take a picture of a tree or a horse and use it as your picture. Even your foot. LOL.

[Shane Lovejoy]

No its not, i've never had a pic that shows my face, your friends are jerks or stupid

[Miguel]

No, your profile picture can be whatever you want it to be. But an actual picture of yourself is recommended.

[Noah]

I do believe that your friends are lying to you. It is not illegal my friend. if so Facebook wouldn't allow it to happen. No worries!

[Yanni Depp]

Yes. You get 6 months in jail if you're in the US, a €250 fine in Europe, or 200 hours community service in the United Kingdom. It's not a crime in Brazil, Panama or China though.

[Dan A]

yes it is, you are going to be in big trouble lady!

[Rish]

No it is not illegal, as long the rest of the picture is yours.
-> do not use pictures that belong to others !

[Andrew]

As long as the picture doesn't contain indecency such as porn then it is perfectly legal to use as a profile picture.

It doesn't have to be a picture of your face or you.
