Whats going on with Instagram? terms of service explained! 20/12/12

By Admin 20 December 2012
You may have been hearing a lot about Instagram and the changes it's been making to it's user policy recently, but what is actually going on?

Well, a few days ago Instagram changed it's terms of service.  The way it was worded confused many users and lead them to believe that Instagram had introduced a right for them to use and share your photo's which have been taken with Instagram, without telling the users.  These changes are compulsory and will take effect on the 16th of January.  
This is what got got people annoyed and confused:

"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."
and
"a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos, and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you."

Instagram, which was recently bought by Facebook, was quick to react to the user opposition, and said that it has been misinterpreted and that "it is not our intention to sell your photos,".  They have also said that the terms of service will be re-worded so that they are easier to understand.

A couple of weeks ago, Instagram also removed it's integration within Twitter meaning you could no longer see the photos on twitter and that you now have to go to the Instagram website.  This shows rivalry between Facebook, instagram's parent company, and Twitter, another social network.
