Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21495729 Please tell me what you could possibly report on Instagram that you can't already do on Twitter/fakebook? We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves? |

| train User ID: 3582303 United States12/18/2012 02:16 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for the headsup. I cancelled my account a year ago, but family members have a ton of pictures posted. "Any man, who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the U. S.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30216546  Germany12/18/2012 02:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The updated terms of service also state the company will "not be liable for any use or disclosure of any content you provide" - a sentence which seems designed to immunise Facebook from any legal proceedings, such as class action lawsuits. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17165455 Users cannot opt out of having their pictures sold, unless that is they delete their accounts ahead of the new terms of service coming into effect next month. [link to www.ibtimes.co.uk] If I had an account I would delete it before facebook gets your stuff and sells it. This is not in compliance with (label) law in most countries I suppose and facebook won't succeed with this. |

Even the Feds enforce this, eh? However, if these companies take what belongs to you and sells it for their own profit, without permission, and without giving your royalties on your property, it's all legal? Hmmm... |

Your the money making machine, even all you freeloaders out their who love a free product. You have been sold many times like a hooker but you never got paid for it! |
