Facebook tags photos with my face in it without my permission. How do I as a non-Facebook user stop that?

How do I prevent Google from reading my email conversations when a huge chunk of the destinations are on the Gmail platform?

I DON'T have control. And I DON'T like it.

You can't stop it because you don't control your friends. These are their pictures, their email conversations.

I fear the set of Orwellian rules that would be required to make you happy.

I don't mind that my friends have access. Controlling that would be Orwellian.

I mind that Google and Facebook have access. They are already Orwellian, and figuring out how to control that would be anti-Orwellian.
