Instagram Responds ⇒

Kevin Systrom, Instagram’s co-founder,1 doing a little damage control on the company blog:

To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos.

That 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.

That’s not. See ya.


  1. Instagram’s about page still lists him as CEO, but I don’t think there’s room for more than one at Facebook. ↩︎
