Is this common to see on Family Search?

Yesterday evening I signed into Family Search and saw that a family member uploaded a number of personal photos, largely of my deceased dad. I am included in at least three pictures when I was very young. There are other family members in these photos who are still living as well. I think there are multiple pictures of my dad in shorts with no shirt, and that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that I think all of these photos are marked Public Memory. Does this mean all of these pictures/personal memories are for everyone to see? Thirty plus pictures.

    They are available for anyone to see - just as you see them.

    feel free to contact the family member and politely and tactfully share your concerns with them.
