Yes, the acquaintance category is also useful for those coworkers who you feel bad not accepting friend requests but you don't really want them seeing pics of your vacacation. My MIL is currently an acquaintance simply because she has no clue about the Internet and posts the strangest comments.

You don't give an example but I picture something like --
You post a photo of Larla and Larlo on the playground and she comments "Why does it look like Larla is giving Larlo a blowjob?" Is that it?
The best thing you can say is that she's immature and has inappropriate boundaries. Wincibly so. What I would ask is, have you brought this to your brother's attention? Does he have any reaction?
In the short term, yes, you demote her to acquaintance. There is no need for her to see pix of your family. She doesn't understand the point.
She's never been that personal, but yes. It's my husband's brother, and he's already sensitive about her because my MIL has been vocally disapproving.
