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. _________________Twitter Blogflickr

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? _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

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.

"Frank Kozik
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. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

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. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
