Facebook's photo-sharing site Instagram has updated its privacy policy giving it the right to sell users' photos to advertisers without notification.

Unless users delete their Instagram accounts by a deadline of 16 January, they cannot opt out


I don't know what the true implications are as I haven't fully looked into it but I'm sure the "omg the bastards" crowd are in full rage mode. I have in fact deleted my Instagram account - prompted by this - but primarily because I hardly ever use it since giving up with Facebook.

Same here, though only uploaded about 5 pictures. Still on Facebook but I didn't like these terms so goodbye Instagram.
All my photos are on Flickr.

Never bothered with Instagram and now glad that I never did.

Account deleted :|
Made sure they knew the reason why was privacy concerns.

At the very least, you should be paid.
Never really 'got' Instagram.

I don't think I've ever been to the site. I guess it must be a goldmine of valuable images?

Many celebrities use it but how many from now on?

It's a magical wonderland of terrible photos, usually of somebody's feet and/or meal.

Also some 'proper' paid pros use it, because, well, because they can.
For the same reason I suspect people keep employing Terry Richardson.

How many 'outraged' Instaspam user ferociously deleting their accounts have downloaded 'free' music or other media? I bet 100% of them. Get over yourselves there is no free lunch in the rose garden."

Yes but that is why we tolerate the adverts.

Afraid not, apparently all this hubbubb has caused them to insta-backpedal. The lunch/foot/tramp photos are safe for now.

Yes the reaction has been expected. Though why did they think that it would not cause a stink? It must have lead to a lot of closed accounts.
