Understanding
At the beginning of the story, Lucas and Filipe use their phones to take photos of their teacher and share them with their friends. What problems can this cause for the person who took the photos and for the person in the photos?
Grammar
During the story, Filipe is sure that someone went onto his Facebook page, and he is sure that he knows who it was. He uses the phrase 'must have been' to show this:
"Someone must have been on my Facebook page!"
"It must have been Rafael"
We use the structure must + have + past participle to show that we are sure about something that happened in the past. We can change must to could/may/might to say that we are less sure, or to can't if we are sure that something didn't happen.

Well, because it is not very courteous, and they might not like it very much. This could spoil your relations with them. A better idea is to always ask them if you could tag them before you post any of their picture. Plus you should be a positive person, by doing such things you only expose yourself and your mentality. But it is always a good idea to at least know about how to do these things, this will discourage people from hacking your account, as they would know that you are dangerous!
You should always deactivate your account when you do not intend to use it for a long time. and keep changing your passwords, know how to report issues.By the way, I have delete my fb account, so I shouldn't talk like a pro! ;);)

Some people may just follow the rule 'Everything which is not forbidden is allowed'. There are two options: either FB or any other social media introduces and then enforces a new policy, or it's up to the users to decide whether they are ready to take the risks of sharing other people's photos or not.
