A lawyer rewrote Instagram’s terms of use ‘in plain English’ so kids would know their privacy rights
Great article I read this morning. I think it needs to be explained to not just kids but to people of ALL ages.
Other complex paragraphs were similarly condensed to sentences that were easier to digest:
- “Don’t bully anyone or post anything horrible about people.”
- “Officially you own any original pictures and videos you post, but we are allowed to use them, and we can let others use them as well, anywhere around the world. Other people might pay us to use them and we will not pay you for that.”
- “Although you are responsible for the information you put on Instagram, we may keep, use and share your personal information with companies connected with Instagram. This information includes your name, email address, school, where you live, pictures, phone number, your likes and dislikes, where you go, who your friends are, how often you use Instagram, and any other personal information we find such as your birthday or who you are chatting with, including in private messages (DMs).”
