When you upload something to the internet it is no longer private. its that simple. If I have my own website, that I built, someone could easily come along and rip all the photos and sell them on without me ever knowing. That is the nature of the internet, if you haven't figured that out yet... thats your problem. At least instagram have the balls to openly admit that is their intent instead of doing it on the sly, without you ever knowing... which is exactly what happens now. | ||

I don't use instagram personally, I have photoshop for when the mood strikes me to add some filters to my pics, but the fact that they COULD use my pics (should i ever use the app) to make money doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Except somebody else stealing your work or posted property on your private space is what we call stealing, infringement, and can get that person into trouble if it's a significant enough infringement. Duh no shit right. Just because a phenonmenon is wide spread doesn't mean you have to defend it or justify it externally with "well what did you expect to happen?" when it's still wrong. People are exercising their right to uninstall the program after they hear about this, just as they used the program under the assumption that their work or private photos wouldn't be misused. | ||

So if you don't want it, just don't use it and it won't bother you. Not especially hard or unreasonable for a free product. | ||

Instagram will still not be allowed to sell pictures with recognizable people, because that still requires a model release, and apparantly the new ToC only apply for photos uploaded after jan 16th.

But..But.. when i take pictures i use black and white to make them look cool. you mean i will have to actually use a photo editor?! | ||

Claiming your IP? Check. Unilateral ToS change? Check. Sad monetization scheme? Check. But remember guys, people don't really want privacy, they just wanna SHARE! | ||

Even though a good amount of friends keep bugging me to get a Facebook account, every time I hear Facebook related things like this my heart rejoices the fact I haven't given in. I know real privacy is a utopia these days but the things Facebook (and sites owned by Facebook) makes it's users sign, mostly unknowingly, just goes against anything I want to believe in. I understand Facebook needs to make money. I also understand why they would want something like this. However a unilateral change of the ToS is in my opinion not the way to do things like this. For a change that has an impact like this (or perhaps even any change at all) a company should send the already registered users an email with a clear context. - This is what the paragraph in the ToS was when you signed on. - This will be the new paragraph and these are the changes we are going to make in the ToS (additions clearly highlighted / changed text crossed out - This is the date the new ToS will be implemented (at least a month in the future) - This is why we are making these changes If a company is required to announce the changes like this the existing users get a fair warning and a more clear view of what will happen and what the consequences are if they agree. And if they don't agree, they know well in advance and can look for and alternative and close their account. Everybody who signs up after the implementation date of the new ToS should read it carefully anyway so I have less problems with them being screwed if they don't read the ToS although it would be nice if a ToS was required to be written in easy to understand text instead of lawyer language. Preferentially bulleted short sentences instead of paragraph long wordings that say the same but hard very hard to read for most people. Most people just skip reading the ToS altogether because of the way it's formulated. Perhaps good for the company but bad for society as a whole imo. | ||

Who would have thought that facebooks wants to monetarize it? Yeah .... I hate facebook. What a bad company that thinks it can own everything just by saying so in the customer service terms ... | ||

Who would've thought people dont' want to be exploited by constantly-changing agreements that don't ask for your re-approval when they randomly change and don't notify you at all of the changes? | ||

I don't use instagram, but imo the big deal is that some people, who might not notice the new policy taking effect, or even be aware of it, could have private photos that they don't want being shared. If they don't realize that this is taking place (and don't delete their account), they could have those things shared. If the policy was that all pictures after Jan 16th were public, THEN a "don't use their service anymore" could easily make sense. But for people who are inevitably going to be unaware of the policy change, this could be a big deal. | ||
