Instagram Drive to Attempt to change its Terms of Service
Instagram updated terms of service, introduced last Monday (though Instagram has since beckpedaled), would "transfer valuable property rights to Instagram while simultaneously relieving Instagram from any liability for commercially exploiting customers' photographs and artistic content, while shielding Instagram from legal liability, reads the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on LAST Friday.
Instagram making a "grab for customer property rights," the suit claims, it's also attempting to cover its tail by prohibiting users from seeking legal injunction against the service, or indeed through a no-class-action arbitration clause any legal action aside from small-claims remedies.
Instagram had said the new terms of service would go into effect January 16 and that users could not opt out but could delete their accounts before the deadline. The suit takes issue with that last point, saying customers could cancel, but that in doing so they'd forfeit the right to their photos
