How to stop photo tagging in Twitter

Twitter's new feature of photo tagging has been much celebrated. But what if you don't want to be tagged in other people's photos?
It's actually very simple to disallow this by a quick change to your settings:
  1. Login to Twitter
  2. Go to Settings > Security and Privacy
  3. Tick the "Do not allow anyone to tag me in photos" option
  4. Save Changes.
Undecided? Here's a quick recap of what the Twitter tagging feature allows you to do:
Tag up to 10 people in a photo.
Tagging doesn't affect your character count (ie you can tag and still have the full 140 characters for your tweet.
If you're tagged in someone else's photo you'll receive a notification.
