Instead they are paying to host blurry, sepia toned pictures of lunches. This was probably the worst way to go about monetizing this particular division, in addition to the photo sharing war with Twitter I don't think this will reflect well on FB's stock price. I don't think there will be a mass exodus from the app though, there will always be people (like the ones inclined to believe posting a status means that the terms and conditions of the site don't apply to them), who just love using the app. | ||

say you uploaded something from another party, they now own whatever you uploaded from that party? | ||

There was an advertisement that went like: "If that fat, disgusting loser can get a hot GF, so can you!" and the photo of incontrol and her was apparently sold by facebook. I'm not making this up, there was even a thread about it on TL. | ||

Instragram is facebook with only uploading pictures, and just like twitter, it is a haven for people who think they and their opinions are important and original. huehue edit: also, I think Probe1 is right, that clause about suing won't hold up lol | ||

I feel that people in this thread generally do not have a good understanding of the law. Once you upload something to any service like this, it is no longer your property. It is protected only by user agreements. The poll in the OP is fallacious since there's only one correct answer, and it's not a matter of opinion. As to whether it bothers me; not really, most other companies are already doing the exact same thing. Phone companies, Facebook, and even certain forums (not this one) will all sell your personal info for a buck. Ideally this would not happen at all, but that's capitalism. | ||

If you don't like it, don't use their services. All they're really providing is a convenient way for people to seek attention. | ||
