Instagram Reverses Privacy Policy

Following outrage over changes.

You complained, Instagram listened. The photo-sharing platform responded to an uproar from users after it changed its privacy policy earlier this week. The new policy appeared to allow for the company to sell posted photos to advertisers, and to share users’ data. Late Thursday night, Instagram announced in a blog post it will be reverting back to its original terms of service. “Going forward, rather than obtain permission from you to introduce possible advertising products we have not yet developed, we are going to take the time to complete our plans, and then come back to our users and explain …” Instagram’s cofounder Kevin System wrote.
