Instagram: 'It Is Not Our Intention To Sell Your Photos.'

Following controversy over its new privacy policy, Instagram has responded with a lengthy statement that “it is not our intention to sell your photos.”

The company had hoped “to experiment with innovative advertising,” and blamed confusion over language in the new terms.

Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom explained: “We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear. To provide context, we envision a future where both users and brands alike may promote their photos & accounts to increase engagement and to build a more meaningful following.
