Instagram: The New Terms of Service

December 19 2012

instagram iconWith the rise of social media outlets, it is difficult to tell which were made for what function. For those unsure as to what function Instagram serves, let us at My Computer Works shed some light on this social media service.

Instagram is a free photo-sharing program and social network that operates much like Twitter. Users can upload images that show up in a feed of their followers, much like the Facebook newsfeed, but these are just pictures. Now that we have a basis of what Instagram is, let's get into how it is changing.

Exploring the New Terms of Service

Instagram is further integrating with Facebook, which is causing them change their Terms of Service. The change causing the most buzz is that Instagram can use the images you upload for their ads, or sell them to third party partners. This shows under the headline of "Rights" in the Terms of Service and says:

To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.
