Actually, they're not. Any time anyone tags a photo of me, I get a notification and can untag it. It almost never happens anyway. My folks/friends aren't big photo posters.

But this is one thing (among many) that bothers me about facebook. If you don't have a facebook account, you can't stop people from posting pics of you and filling out the "In this picture" stuff with your name essentially tagging you without you getting a chance to remove the tag.

I believe what tends to happen in cases like this, where there is such disdain for the patent mess and the general notion of competition by litigation, is people tend to dislike the perceived aggressor the most.

Apple is clearly the perceived aggressor, having started the litigation in this scenario. And Samsung is seen as defending itself. Had Samsung instigated this particular fight, they would be "rooted against" so to speak, excepting a certain anti-Applie contingent that will always hate and root against Apple even if they're giving away food to starving people in third world countries.
