Dumb germanfag here. Pls correct this text. Every advice welcome.
"Nowadays, personal pictures are presented on Facebook. The imaged persons are linked so other people know who they are. If one is not a member of the network, he will get an email or no message at all on the upload of his picture. Individuals who are not interested in participating in social networks still want to know what is happening on the Internet. Just if all contacts would have the same reserved adjustment regarding internet activity, privacy would be maintained. But it is a fact that personal information is the basis of social networks and is spread without restraint because this is what most users are interested in. After all valuable ratings and descriptions of diverse experiences are shared too. On the other side private images could evoke complications, if the chief of the staff department sees them."

>nowadays
Always use "currently." "Nowadays" is the first thing that pops up on translators but it sounds way too informal.
>the upload of his picture
his picture's upload. just sounds better.
>Just if all contacts
don't use "gerade" constructions in English. They never make sense.
I have corrected this text. I appreciated the criticism. Thank you very much.

Took a crack at it. Not bad OP, just a bit unnatural sounding in some place, but that is usually the last quality to achieve in learning a second language.
Question: is a comma after an and the separates a second clause with a new subject optional?
