FB or web uploads... I reduce to 72dpi on purpose. They cant really be upscaled without looking like crud.
You can also add a moire effect to it, so that printing anything looks like splotchy crud regardless of the size printed.

72dpi and 800 pixels... FB compresses them even more so when they try to make them bigger they just look more like crap.

FWIW: FB native display mode is 720px on the long side. Anything more than that, FB will re-scale.
If you upload hi-res images, their "process" makes a total mess of them.
