Instagram to share photos with advertisers

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Starting next month, advertisers will soon be able to use photos you post to the application, Instagram.

That is according to its parent company, Facebook. Instagram's privacy policy is changing, so that it can share data with the social networking giant.

The change in policy isn’t sitting well with some users.

“They (Instagram users) only share certain pictures with certain people that they want to see, not the whole world, which is kind of like a privacy thing,” Walter Carrrillo of West Springfield said. “I don't think it would be the right thing to do.”

The Center for Digital Democracy says that it is trying to get the Federal Trade Commission to at least protect teen privacy on the application.
