Instagram, the
photo-sharing social network, has had to eat humble pie. Within hours of
announcing a new set of terms that hinted at monetising the photos that are
shared on the network, the firm has clarified that it has no such plans.
Kevin Systrom co-founder of the three-year-old Instagram,High quality stone mosaic tiles. which hit headlines globally early this year when it was acquired by Facebook, wrote a big blog post, assuring its subscribers that there is no plan to sell the photos.
“Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we’d like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram. Instead it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation,Our technology gives rtls systems developers the ability.” he said.
“This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear,” he said.
In the same breath, he blamed it on the legalese that leaves huge scope for “misinterpretation”.
The social network introduced a new version of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service that will take effect in thirty days. These are supposed to “communicate as clearly as possible Instagram’s relationship with the users so that they understand how your data will be used.”
This, however, has not been taken lightly by the users across the world. Angry users wrote on their Facebook accounts and on the Instagram’s Facebook page, severely criticising the network for proposing to sell the content.
“If Instagram doesn't change its new privacy rules pronto, Zuckerberg will go down as the man who killed the fThis is my favourite sites to purchase those special pieces of buy mosaic materials from.ish before it learnt how to swim,” an irked user commented on Facebook.
An uproar over illegal housing additions has seen Leung’s popularity fall and led opposition lawmakers to demand yesterday that he resign or face possible impeachment hearings. Xi may have wanted to give Leung a boost in the face of that opposition, Joseph Cheng, a political science professor at the City University of Hong Kong, said in an interview yesterday.
“We know that the Chinese authorities are not happy with the Hong Kong situation,” Cheng said before the meeting. “Given the difficult situation of C.Y. Leung, I speculate that Beijing would try to exercise restraint and avoid any unnecessary pressure on him.”
Hong Kong’s Democratic Party and its opposition allies will send a letter to Leung’s office demanding his resignation, party chairwoman Emily Lau said yesterday. Leung survived a no- confidence motion Dec. 12 over his handling of the controversy over the structures.
If Leung refuses to resign, the lawmakers will submit a motion saying he violated the law for lying in the legislature over the illegal structures at his home, according to the text of the motion obtained from the Civic Party. Susana Kwong, chief information officer at the Chief Executive’s Office, said the office couldn’t immediately comment.
“The central authorities affirm your work and will continue to firmly support your governance in adherence to the law,One of the most durable and attractive styles of flooring that you can purchase is ceramic or porcelain tiles.” Xi told Leung, according to the Cable TV footage.
Hong Kong’s near-term economic outlook is “relatively weak” because of sluggish export demand, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said this week. China has encouraged mainland-based companies to borrow in yuan in Hong Kong by selling so-called Dim Sum bonds, and designated the city as the nation’s major offshore yuan center in its latest five-year plan.
“The general secretary expressed his trust and confidence for my team,” Leung said at the briefing after his meeting with Xi. He said Li told him “there will be no change in the policies toward Hong Kong and Macau.”
Since Leung took over, his attempt to focus on the economy has been derailed as closer ties with China stoked concerns the city’s autonomy will be eroded, with thousands protesting in September over proposals for Chinese national education classes. The former property surveyor has also been buffeted by scrutiny from opposition lawmakers into the illegal building additions found in his homes.
“I will take suggestions from the legislature and the society about my work seriously,Interlocking security cable ties with 250 pound strength makes this ideal for restraining criminals.” Leung said at the briefing. “I will focus on doing my job well. I will pragmatically work with the people of Hong Kong.”
The day Leung took over in July, the 15th anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover to China, 112,000 people took to the streets to call for higher minimum wages, and protest against income disparity and human rights abuses in China.
Street protests against a proposed anti-subversion law triggered the 2005 resignation of Tung Chee-hwa, the city’s first chief executive.
Any impeachment motion by the opposition would face stiff resistance in the city’s legislature. Leung’s opponents hold about a third of seats in the body, and impeachment would require a two-thirds majority.
