    Just seen this on the BBC

    Any instagram users here? what do you make of this change to the policy?
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20767537
    Facebook's photo-sharing site Instagram has updated its privacy policy giving it the right to sell users' photos to advertisers without notification.

    Unless users delete their Instagram accounts by a deadline of 16 January, they cannot opt out.

    The changes also mean Instagram can share information about its users with Facebook, its parent company, as well as other affiliates and advertisers.
    A notice updating the privacy policy on the Instagram site said: "We may share your information as well as information from tools like cookies, log files, and device identifiers and location data with organisations that help us provide the service to you... (and) third-party advertising partners."

    "To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you," it said in its terms of use.

    Isn't instagram owned by facebook? Could this have implications for facebook users in the longrun? interesting stuff but snooping into peoples photos and taking them for revenue purposes?
