Instagram NEW RULES In Plain English

InstagramAre using Instagram? A photo sharing mobile application with filters you can apply to your photos and you can comment and like others photos you look at and people that look at yours can do the same. Owned by Facebook. Not integrated directly into Twitter anymore after that move. Installed directly to a mobile device. Anyway Instagram announced terms and conditions earlier that were jaw dropping about USING your pictures without your permission in advertisements and such to MAKE MONEY and the world shrieked. Since then they have backed off that but HERE JANUARY 19th the new "modified" terms and conditions apply.

It seems you don't have to drop Instagram now but since I found a blog that explains better than I could write an entire article here is

    Instagram NEW RULES In Plain English.

Look throught the bullet points and if ok, stick with them.

If not, other photo sharing sites are Tumblr and Flickr among many.

Hi Gary,

After reading this, I'm glad that I've never used Instagram.    I hope you have a great weekend.

I use Instagram, but I don't think they did something new. Every time you post your picture online public, you loose it.
