The internet was buzzing earlier today about changes that Instagram had made to their terms of service.

From all accounts it appeared as if, starting on January 16, 2013, they would be able to use any user’s photos in any way they wanted – including selling those photos to advertisers.

This, of course, sent everyone into an uproar, which caused Facebook and Twitter to be flooded with tweets about Instagram’s policy changes.
