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:

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

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!
