Instagram DOOMED? Celebrities Already Jumping Ship!

celebs protest controversial new instagram terms twitter tiffani theissen cheryl burke kate walsh

The people have spoken! And the celebs aren't far behind!

Instagram's terribly tyrannical new Terms of Service are pissing off a plethora of actors, models, and all-around famous faces!

Most are taking to Twitter in protest — as voicing dissent via parent company Facebook would be silly — and are threatening to delete their accounts!!

Saved by the Bell cutie Tiffani Thiessen was one of the first to get vocal. She said:

Go, girl!

DwtS starlet Cheryl Burke doesn't want pics of her hot dancing heine sold to third parties either.

She revealed:

Actors Tyson Beckford and Kate Walsh are in the same boat, too! Not literally, LOLz, we aren't sure if they've ever met!

They admitted:

Can you blame them?

Consider a scenario in which Instagram sells a photo of Rihanna rolling a blunt.

Swisher Sweets buys the rights for millions, plasters her face on billboard ads all around the world and Ri never sees a dime!

Thankfully, disgruntled users have other options.

Wired crafted a step-by-step guide to downloading your Instagram photos and re-uploading them to other photo-sharing Apps with less nefarious intentions.

We wonder if Instagram might soon revisit these "new and improved" Terms of Service!

    Anyone that would put all there stuff out there is nuts anyway. Good grief people. Don't you want any privacy in your life? Social media is getting so ridiculous. And this is the most ridiculous to say you have no rights to your own photos.

    I've never used Instagram. I'm not even sure how it works exactly. Don't really care.

    Do these idiots not realize FB already has these rights? People are stupid. FB can do the same thing!

    These celebrities have been "using" Instagram to promote themselves for FREE. Now they're pissed because it now comes with a price? Nothing's for free people. Why should Instagram spend millions of investment dollars and get NOTHING for their efforts while these "celebrities" reap the benefits without paying the piper. Selfish twits.

    Re: Lady Amalthea – Thanks, neither have I. Do not use any social media although I do have a LinkedIn account which I look at about every month or two. I am also not sure how it works. Not sure if it is a texting type thing (which my phone does not have) or if you access it from your computer. I am also not sure what all these I things are also.
