When someone who you're not friends with adds a tag to one of your posts you'll always be asked to review it. Remember When you approve a tag, the person tagged and their friends may be able to see your post." We need to understand all this information. This option gives us the power to give permission and decide who can add a tag to our posts. If we post something, and someone tags someone in that post, we will have to give permission for that tag to appear on Facebook. As it said, if we give permission and the tag does appear, then other people's friends may be able to see our post as well.
