LOL
I thought instagram sucked because of the shit pictures people were posting to it.
Now i say it sucks even more because of the “you hereby grant to Instagram a
non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable,
sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or
through the Service, ”
hehehe

i hate the fact they can use pictures of my friends and family and even me (not that they would. there are better looking people all over the world) for their own needs without even asking me. I mean…. how hard is it to ask!?

Instagram has released their own statement (even the verge had some stuff wrong), I will be updating the article soon.

This is too bad! I just had to delete my account as well because of their new policy. I really don’t feel comfortable at the idea that Instagram could potentially sell pix of my kids and more generally of my life, so even though I’m very annoyed myself at having to do so, they didn’t leave me any other option. This is such a shame… I really wish that most everyone would start deleting their accounts. Hopefully they would realize that they made a mistake and change their policy back to how it was before…

actually now that I read it a bit more and now that I’m more awake, it doesn’t seem like private profiles are safe either. No opt out, private and public profiles are fair game if I’m reading correctly >_<

oh well, I only started public posting recently. I won't delete my account, I will just delete my posts and keep the photos :p

ahhh ic. yes, you can make the profile private like you can make your facebook profile private in which you can only view photos after you have been accepted by the user. I GUESS that’s a little better. I was about to delete my account :D I don’t have much on there either but still this idea is revolting to me.

I’m sure everyone here is mad, they are all photographers but probably the average person wouldn’t be bothered by it. It might even appeal to them.
