Bah. This is stupid and no way to opt out of it. I'm pretty sure I won't be using Instagram anymore even though I enjoy it.

Check this out:

Um, no.

That's retarded.

LOL, sssshhhhh don't tell

Whenever you sign up for a free service you have the chance to run into this sort of thing. Since it's a free service, they need to make money to pay for hosting the images you upload, etc.

Not saying it's right or anything. Just saying to read the terms of service before going all in on something like this.

Oh totally true. THis is just the UPDATED ToS, which you can't opt out of. I know they have to make money but it still sucks haha

I think Instagram just did themselves in with that. Not a good business move.

All my instagram photos are saved seperately on my phone in a folder so thankfully I don't have to download them, but as for deleting the account I'm seriously considering it. I don't want to see my face on some billboard for chlamydia medication or some shit because they company purchased a "stock photo" from Zuckerberg/Instagram lol

Another reason I'm glad I don't have a smart phone!

I actually just heard about this on In Session this morning in a report. Instagram is going to rewrite their ToS, I don't remember the exact words sorry, it didn't apply to me. But no worries, you CAN KEEP USING INSTAGRAM. They WILL NOT be selling your photos.

They WILL NOT be selling your photos.

At. This. Time. lol

They reiterated that it's totally a business still and they need to make money and our photos can be used NEXT to ads or some shit like that. That was my understanding about it Jen! Hopefully I'm wrong!

I really wish I could remember what was said this morning. But they did say they would not be selling/using pictures.

I did find this... http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2012/12/18/instagram-privacy-policy-advertisers/1777005/
