Please do not upload images that shouldn't or can't be used in an article.

Not all images on the .gov or .mil sites are public domain, however: works by local state governments are not necessarily in the public domain. In case of doubt, ask.

fair-use images can only be used in articles (not e.g. talk pages or user pages), as specified in the image's fair-use rationale; and fair-use images become subject to deletion if not actually used in an article—see Wikipedia:Fair use § Policy and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § Images/Media .
Facebook allows users to upload photos, and to add them to albums. In December 2010, the company enabled facial recognition technology, helping users identify people to tag in uploaded photos. [91] In May 2011, Facebook launched a feature to tag specific Facebook pages in photos, including brands, products, and companies. [92]
We only allow uploads of non-free images if no free equivalent is available, or could be created – which means in practice: 1) if a relatively poor but free image is available to us, a better but non-free image cannot be uploaded; and 2) with some exceptions, a non-free image of a living person cannot be used at all, because while the person ...
