Today Instagram changed
their terms of service. Starting January16th of next year, they will
grab the rights of every photo you take through the service and use
it to sell it to advertisers. Oh and they don't have to give you a
dime.
UPDATE: Apparently
they came to their senses and said they
would correct the new terms
Personally in light of
all this....it's too little to late. You tipped your hand and showed
your cards, I'm out.
I wasn't a fan of
Instgram at first, I did grow to like the cheeky filters. I was
always apprehensive of their Facebook overloads. Their last update
made the app buggy as hell. Every time I tired to use the blur
filter the screen corrupted.
Apparently the only way
to opt-out of the new terms is to delete your account. You might
think you are going to have to kiss all your photos goodbye. Not so!
When I first got my android smart phone I did some digging and found
the photos were stored natively. This is where the files were on the
Samsung Galaxy S blaze 4G, it may be different for other android
phones or the iPhone
Files>pictures>Instagram
The pictures now safe
on my photoshelter account, where I think I'll keep any and all
photos I take from now on.
I just need a way to
figure out show to do it all from my cell phone....
