Facebook Cannot Own-Sell My Images!!!!

A new update to Instagram’s (owned by Facebook) terms of service on Tuesday, states that data collected through the app can be shared with Facebook, and its users are up-in-arms, as this relays the message that the app owns the users images. It’s not far-fetched considering that Facebook paid $1B for the Instagram app. The verbage that is outraging the app’s more than 100 million users states that “a business or other entity may pay” Instagram for the use of user images and may do so “without any compensation to you.” The proposed changes are set to go into effect Jan. 16, but others aren’t being so patient, and a popular Tweeter feed associated with the hacker collective Anonymous is urging its more than 750,000 followers to dump the app Tuesday morning.
