It seems that all you have to do, in case they'd use any of your pictures
and you don't approve of it, is to delete that particular picture and their
right to use it (the license) is thereby immediately terminated.
Now let's hope that they'd still use it after deletion so that you can sue
them and get some monetary compensation...

Under U.S. law I don't think you could get compensation even if they did
continue to use it. At most you could get them to stop using it.
The terms of service looks like a "hold harmless" clause; i.e. YOU
upload to Facebook and if somebody rips off your photo it's not
Facebook's fault.
If it's been shared around, it's your responsibility to find and delete
any of your photos you don't want to be there.
And it looks like it might be a way for them to avoid liability in the
case a user uploads photos that are not their own.
