Photo-sharing social network Instagram has come under fire for new 'terms of service' which allow it to use people's own photos in adverts, without paying them.
Photo-sharing social network Instagram has come under fire for new 'terms of service' which allow it to use people's own photos in adverts, without paying them.
The new terms of use have been described as a 'suicide note' by Clayton Cubitt, a New York-based photographer.
Twitter users have expressed outrage - "Good bye instagram. Your new terms of service are totally stupid. Good luck playing with the big boys," said one.
The new terms of use - a legally binding document which is 'agreed' to by all users of the site - allow Instagram to use photographs in advertising, without warning users.
