Facebook Inc. (FB)’s Instagram policy changes, announced yesterday, may let advertisers use teenagers’ photos for marketing, raising privacy and security concerns, said Jeffrey Chester, executive director for the Center for Digital Democracy.

The new policies, which now apply to users as young as 13, enable Instagram, a photo-sharing service that Facebook bought in August, to use members’ names, text, photos and other content with marketing messages, the company said on its site. The new terms of use, set to take effect next month, could be exploitative, Chester said.

Facebook, operator of the world’s largest social network with more than 1 billion users, is changing policies for its Instagram unit as it looks for ways to increase revenue across its services. Instagram, popular with teens and young adults, reached more than 100 million users, Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in September.

Facebook “sees teens as a digital goldmine,” said Chester, whose group is focused on privacy issues. “We will be pressing the Federal Trade Commission to issue policies to protect teen privacy.”

You're missing the point, its not about the type of pictures. They said that Instagram can sell your pictures to companies that want to use them for advertising.

What if YOUR picture was in a Valtrex Ad or something . You don't get paid, they don't need your consent, and people will be walking around giving you the face when they see you.

Instagram is not worth non of that in my opinion.

Who thought they wouldn't do whatever they want with your info? Like the dumb asses posting legal sounding security disclaimers on Facebook. Bottom line: if you don't want the shyt exploited, keep it to yourself. Once it's on the net it's fair game.

The funny part is: writers always imagined that Big Brother would force us to submit to constant monitoring. Turns out we are perfectly willing to volunteer.

I reject yo deposit. Why do yall have this defeated attitude about everything...If you ever found your picture on a companies ad, not those no name, no traffic getting websites, but a website that actually gets seen then you could sue and get paid.

With this you can't do shyt about it.
