They have just changed their Privacy Policy to give them the right to sell users photos to advertisers and other third parties without notifying you or seeking your permission. They do not compensate you either. There is a deadline of 16th January to delete your account, after that you cannot opt out.

Just seen this online, I'm going to delete my account, not that there's anything interesting in there, just that it happens to be mine!
Ah so those photos are safe then Rocky?
But more seriously - Instagram have taken careful aim and managed to hit both feet.

This will kill it - wait for the the 'ooooopppps' retraction in a few days time as accounts start to be deleted by the thousand ...
Lol!
I've just deleted my account, I don't know why I installed it in the first place really, at least it's no loss!
Many free such services claim copyright ownership as soon you upload your data.
Read the terms and conditions before downloading.
I use a camera and put the memory card in the machine in asda, hope asda don;t keep copies.
TinyPic, for example (Photobucket's terms are the same)

Content will be publicly available, and TinyPic and other Users may copy or display Content outside of the TinyPic Services through the quick link feature or through any other display mechanisms.
but not asda machines then?
FaceBook

YouTube

When you walk into Asda, you grant:

Actually when you walk in to any supermarket you give them the right to strip search you.
does that mean the photo machine then? it doesn;t say so
the photo machine takes those airport-style photos of you through your clothes.
*splutter*
I really should delete it but I enjoy using it too much......... I don't always post my photos anyway. I edit them and then take a screenshot and crop it :)
How do you delete it? Am I just missing the obvious here? Lol!
