Chances are, even though you deleted your photos, they still have them on their servers.

What's really funny is how many sheep out there will read it and continue on their merry way, oblivious to what it means.

The stink is because most did not read the terms of service and now it is in the media, so they freak. I expected it to get worse after Facebook bought them and it did. Before Instagram did not do anything with the photos, now Facebook will. The change in terms proves it. They spent almost $1Billion, they need to make money off it!

Of course they are. They had thousands of accounts deleted today alone. This whole thing screams Zuckerberg. He may be technically smart, but when it comes to business and people, he is an idiot. This could have been done with no fuss, but no.

should be in life support mode. thankfully I have only like a couple of photos on there. I didnt visit daily, might just delete. I'm currently going over my fb account photos and for the future I'm going to host my photos myself.

quote:
The app maker apologized to its users today, saying it will "remove" language from its legal terms that would have let it sell users' photos or use them in advertisements.

In a blog post this afternoon, Chief Executive Kevin Systrom said it's "our mistake that this language is confusing" and that the company is "working on updated language."
The real problem was people understood. Now Instagram is going to get a law firm to pound out each word from now on.

Yes, they'll get a law firm to make the language more cryptic, vague and open to several interpretations, so they can keep stealing from you?

Actually Facebook just killed Instagram. Remember, they own it now.

The damage is they officially lost their 5 star application status on the Apple App Store. That isn't coming back.

What does that even mean? What does 5 star do for them anyway?

I have never used Instagram, I don't like the photos it makes, and now I know I most likely never will use it.

Hipstamatic released another upgrade this week with a nice new Tintype pak. If it didn't crash so much it might've recaptured some disgruntled instagram users.
