There's a dumb and old 2012 Instagram/Facebook hoax about Instagram having permission to use your pictures that is suddenly going around again.
It all started Tuesday, when a very bad photoshop image started floating around on the social media site that in part read, “Don’t forget tomorrow starts the new Instagram rule where they can use your photos. Don’t forget Deadline today!!! It can be used in court cases in litigation against you,” per TMZ in a piece published Wednesday
“Everything you’ve ever posted becomes public from today Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed,” it added.
The hoax image continued, “I do not give Instagram or any entities associated with Instagram permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Instagram is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents.”
Julia Roberts, Taraji Henson, 2 Chainz, Scooter Braun, Judd Apatow, Josh Brolin, Adriana Lima, Rita Wilson, Julianne Moore, T.I , Zoe Saldana and more reposted the image sharing on their social media account and making comments that they backed the words.
The head of the Department of Energy, Governor Rick Perry, posted it too:
And lastly and obviously, they got poor Martha Stewart.
