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:
Really sad to have to end my luv 4 @instagram. Will be deleting my account due 2 their ridiculous new terms.

Go, girl!
DwtS starlet Cheryl Burke doesn’t want pics of her hot dancing heine sold to third parties either.
She revealed:
Can’t believe Instagrams new policy! They r allowed 2 use ALL of ur images in advertising. Will be erasing my account shortly. Pheed it is!!

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:
No more Instagram
— Kate Walsh (@katewalsh) December 18, 2012
I’m sorry to say I will delete my Instagram because of the new rules of Instagram,this will happen 1/15/13 going hard til then!

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!
