If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates
This is some piece of facebook silliness that’s doing the rounds. But others have done much the same:
imagine a teacher wanting to discuss the subject matter with a classroom of teenagers, but by putting it on their suggested list, they are tactically approving it
without asking some very probative questions is equal to tactically approving domestic spying by the CIA
I can kinda see the semantics. They mistake ” by ones’s inaction” for ” as a devious ploy”. What’s interesting is that even if it’s the product of some spell-check it does actually work. Though the multiple hits for “tactic approval” are less serendipitous.

Blend of tacitly and practically (perhaps also).
