Na Internetu lidé masově kopírují vzkaz Instagramu „Because @instagram doesn't allow me to pay for using it, but wants to use ME by selling my info/pics to make money, I have to say goodbye“. BBC vydala článek Instagram seeks right to sell access to photos to advertisers, ve kterém dokonce hovoří o „sebevražedné poznámce“.
V nových podmínkách použití je problematický hlavně bod (2) částí Rights (Práva). Média přitom zpravidla ukazují pouze novou formulaci, která velmi jasně uvádí slovo „may pay us“. Pokud se ale podíváte na původní formulaci, je asi více než jasné, že onu inzerci (a podobné) věci by jistě Instagram vedle fotografií svých uživatelů neumisťoval z dobré vůle a už vůbec ne zadarmo.

Mám-li to osobně nějak komentovat, je nová formulace podstatně jasnější a srozumitelnější, než formulace původní. A nevidím žádný důvod k panice. Stále navíc totiž platí to, co Instagram uvádí o bod dříve.

Pokud tedy někdo teď prohlašuje něco o nutném útěku z Instagramu a prodeji „jeho“ fotografií, tak velmi pravděpodobně nečetl stávající Pravidla ani ho nezajímalo nic dalšího.
