woolybanana Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 It seems that Instagram is seeking the right to sell your fotos without your say so. Anyone who uses the service might wanna reconsider their membership:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20767537 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Nidea Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I was talking to a friend on Skype the other evening, who asked if I had a "wish list" on Amazon. Not having heard of it I looked at the wish list in question only to find I didn't need a password to see it. Furthermore you can put a search for anybody elses name to see what theirs is. I happened to mention that I had looked at Google Images and found a lot of pictures of places where I have lived in the UK. I did a search on my friends name whilst we chatted and there was my friends picture 2 rows down. The only way that could have appeared was from Facebook, which I have never used, because it's too public for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Nidea Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 It's still open to abuse as far as I am concerned. Do a search for David Cameron's "Wishlist" for example. We did for a bit of fun, and couldn't get out of there quick enough. I know it was put on there by somebody else, but it's still too public for me.
