Instagram can sell your photos, but you won't get paid or told.

Very true, but can't hurt to add it. It's fun to do sometimes also :-). I'm not going to stop using instagram just because FB took it over and add extra crap to the TOS.

P.S. gang don't miss the "Apology" (or something) they posted. Basically "... our 'intention' (whatever that is!) is to not sell your content..." .

Slashdot cued the usual range of disbelief at a change in TOS that lets them do it, with a PR blog post claiming "we'll be nice".

Well google is doing that with the image search for quite some time. Check the new image search update, they are making it harder for the image owners to get credit and more easy for the people to grab images from other sites with interaction between gogole and surfer and no credit to the original site owner. This type of update doesn't make it any different than instagrams policy.

Apparently they've backed down: http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2012/12/new-terms-of-use-for-instagram-selling-your-photos-against-your-will/
