Good thing I don't bother with Instagram them.

I like this one better. ;)

Good reason to use OwnCloud or carefully read the TOS of any service you do use.

My first boss told me something I'll never forget: "Don't do anything on an internet-connected computer you wouldn't mind seeing on the front page of tomorrow's paper." (yes, his comment was warranted---there was an incident! ;))

Problem is, when they get to use your photo and face without your knowledge or consent they can start having you "do things" and consent to things you don't... Your nice day in the park might turn out to be used in a manner that violates your feelings about something and what you and your loved ones feel is right and proper...

Whose photo? ;)

Whose photo? ;)

Wasn't mine: there are a couple of clips on Youtube which feature my ugly mug where permission is a bit of a grey area (no, I'm not sharing the link, I wasn't too happy about it at the time they were uploaded). "My" photo did appear in the paper a couple of years back, with my knowledge and permission, relating to the aftermath of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2faB0Wogz4).

You misunderstand my (admittedly cryptic) comment. Just because a photo is of you doesn't mean its "your photo." Instragram would argue it is "their photo" (since, you know... you gave it to them ;)).

I hear you: talking of "your" photo without a context can be delightfully ambigious.

AFAIK, "ownership" can depend on the ToS. Unless I'm working for someone else, I'd expect a photo I've taken myself to be "my" photo, even if it's of someone else. When it comes to uploads, there's sometimes clauses built into the fineprint. I haven't had a chance to look at Instagram's ToS yet, but recall seeing something in YouTube's ToS about the original owner retaining copyright.

I guess they want to lose their investment in Instagram
