Is it legal (by Facebook terms) to post other people's public Facebook photos on my own website by using a simple <img> tag?
-
I would like to post other people's public facebook photos on my own website, and I wanted to understand if it is allowed by facebook. I am not talking about public pages' photos, but simple users photos which are only marked as public. Technically it is simple to just link to a public facebook photo using an <img> tag, or even download the photo, without logging in to facebook. question is: is it legal by facebook's terms (I tried to look for it in the "terms of use" but did not find any exact answer about that).

It's illegal. The photos are their property. Facebook has the transferable right to do that, so you may ask facebook for permission but I don't see that happening.
