I think this may be the first Issue that I have ever agreed with you on :p Did people really think that the people who own the servers that you put your data on have no rights to your data? There are limits to those rights, but when you put something on the internet you lose control of it. | ||

ToS wizardry. edit: I guess this should be expected with 'free' services. They gotta make money somehow, and the ad model just isn't working online. I think the larger issue that people are responding to is the proclivity of Facebook and Facebook-owned companies to unilaterally change their ToS to allow themselves more latitude in monetizing user-generated content. | ||

As a result, I havn't been on Facebook for a while and have no idea what is up with my account. Instagram is just another cog in the attempted money machine. Zuckerberg pissed off a lot of investors when he shoot them in the face with his flop of a public sale and now he's attempting everything to make ammends. Just my opinion. | ||

Ownership involves making usage decisions about your property. Now one can argue that this is the price paid for these services, but I would assert that now that this is being made apparent to users, they're deciding the service isn't worth it. | ||

I wonder how many pictures of me with my face in a bag of weed or pictures of me rolling joints there actually are... It's been a while since I checked facebook. If that's the case then you have no one to blame but yourself for letting people take a picture of you rolling joints. You probably laughed and thought it was funny at the time. And you're far from the only one posting pictures of themselves and friends doing illegal activities. The exact opposite of smart. | ||

We're on TL. We've probably been exposed more than a few times in our life to the blind animosity that some people who don't understand nor love video games have against them. We could think better than behaving the same regarding SNS. Because some people find it shallow and stupid and have no use for it in their (awesome I'm sure) social lives doesn't mean that everyone does. Just use it responsibly and keep enjoying the great services that you're provided with. | ||

For instance, lets look at TeamLiquid's ToS: With respect to any content you elect to post on any area of the site, including blogs, forum comments and any and all other posts, you grant TeamLiquid a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable right and license to use and display such content worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology, without compensation or attribution to you.

No, the point of this thread is a massive knee-jerk reaction that confuses several different licensing and rights issues. Changing the TOS is not surprising in the slightest. In fact, if people actually stopped to read the TOS, they'd see they've already agreed to allow InstaGram to change their TOS. | ||
