Instagram Changes Privacy Policy: Pink, B.o.B + More React
What is Rihanna, a notorious Instagrammer who loves using the service to post topless photos, going to do? With the announcement that the photo company will be changing its privacy policy and now claims the right to be able to sell user photos without any notification or payment, celebs have taken to Twitter –- how ironic! -- to announce that they will be canceling their accounts or abandoning them.
It's also a blow to fans, as well, who have come to enjoy and expect images of new tattoos, newborns, clothes, kisses and other intimate moments via the service. It's certainly a bridge that connects artist to the fan. Or at least it was.
One of Instagram's selling points is its celeb users. If there is a mass exodus due to the privacy policy change, it could cause more Average Joe and Jane users to vacate, too.
