After a backlash from its users in response to proposed changes to its terms of service, Instagram said today that it would go back to existing legal language to describe its advertising policies.

Instagram does not currently support advertising, but is expected to do so soon.

CEO Kevin Systrom hoped to put an end to user revolt with a blog post today, in which he acknowledged that the company had failed “to communicate our intentions clearly.” Though he insisted that the revised language did not belie any future moves to take possession of user photos, he said the company would nevertheless retain its existing legal agreement with users.
