this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by the national campaign against drunk driving welcome back to another episode of renter's rants I'm your host Jon wrenches to show where a rant and rave on anything through all the technology and sometimes outside world technology this one falls right in between up this week we're gonna rant about terms of service to refresher my mind hole from Instagram and it is very important something that most of us don't even read to scroll down and hit accept this is renders rants go and get rantin so early last week Instagram kind of under the radar put out new terms of service and listen I'm not gonna lie most of the times I don't read him anyway scroll to the bottom so let's make it except I had accept and I go on my way I always remembered the south park episode when the happen with Apple if you never got a chance to see that it's pretty funny little human centipede action but Terms of Service is super important so Instagram put out new terms of service of course they were just acquired by Facebook and especially what they said was we own your pictures and we might sell them know what integrand meant to say was we might put as your pictures and they're interpreted that as selling and listen I've been married for a while I know sometimes I don't know we say what I mean and it gets me a lot of trouble and Instagram gotten a lot of trouble because of that everybody's saying I don't want you doing my pictures I don't know what you're gonna do it that I get freaked out you're gonna sell my pictures Instagram I'm going to see my photo of my food and an airplane wing on a billboard somewhere or in some sleazy magazine I don't like it Instagram you're gross with your selling of pictures so I think it got blowing a little bit out of proportion I'm the Instagram ever intended to take your photos of your dessert or photos of you and your friends out whatever you're doing with your cool filters and borders and tend to actually sell them for a profit what Instagram intended to do was put ads in image an image ads certainly a new upcoming thing for those of us that run website you guys run a blog in text ads or big thing as well anything in something is the next frontier of ads static ads aren't performing to do they used to and turn the instagrams looking away too monetize what they do so I sort of fall on both sides of the fence on one hand instagrams of free service so I feel like I don't have ended the biggest of a right to complain because it's a free service now if I was paying for it that'd be a whole other ball of wax on the other hand you just want to tell Instagram dude be cool you know you get that friend that just acts up but he looks smack him across the head so I feel like with Instagram they should have spent more time worried things away they intended and there was a huge backlash but we're gonna say we're gonna shut down her Instagram accounts National Geographic one of the biggest Instagram accounts out there said we're suspending our account until it gets resolved and the same day a new tomb the service came out integrand was like whoa hey hey sorry guys well we didn't mean that calm down and then two days later they change the terms of service to say they're not going to sell the images essentially so quick couple cool things here first the freaking power the internet was proven yet again with enough outrage we can change it's a good lesson for for everything whatever cause you believe in on the other hand average maybe could have been better service for other things so the moral here it's always important to read Terms of Service and I say it and deep down I know I'm probably not going to do it for everything but there are some things that are very important things you're putting up personal information things like Facebook Twitter Instagram people might see your face Mike's your address or a phone or might be revealed actually important to know where those privacy things are going to go one of those things that you might not want to be released to the public are going to go especially relevant if you have children children repose day pictures to facebook or instagram you can sometimes get exif data that can use geolocation and pinpoint exactly we took that picture all which can be very dangerous if you don't want people to know we left over your children are or where you are so be very aware some advice that I get for people is turn off geolocation on your phone taking pictures and uploading them oftentimes i get rid of the whole problem the geolocation stuff you don't they're worried about it on the other hand maybe you want to track your pictures and where they are but just either way just be careful and be smart and read Terms of Service see what you're getting yourself into and if it's a free service maybe you don't have necessary the biggest right to complain if you're paying for it you should be able to your head off because you're their customer and they should do what you want customers always right at least that's I like to tell him myself ray really works out that way so thank you guys for watching
