“Instagram has encouraged professionals to participate by promoting “Suggested Users” and popular imagery on the mobile application. But the new terms of service announced Monday do just the opposite. Photographers and publications will have to consider the value of images posted, as they will be giving them away for unrestricted use to one of the largest companies in the world. The terms of service also grant Facebook the right to use contributors names and likeness for advertising.
I will have to dramatically reduce my posts on Instagram under the new terms of service. In the end, I may just close my account.”
