Millions of ‘private’ photos posted on Instagram have been made available for public viewing due to a loophole on the social media site. If an Instagram account was set to private but the user posted links to their photos on other social media platforms, those photos became public, meaning they could still be shared by copying their URL. Instagram’s parent company, Facebook is no stranger to privacy issues. It has been fighting lawsuits in recent months over claims it fails to ensure personal data is safeguarded from marketers and third-party apps.
In my opinion, I believe the issue has been presented as bigger than it actually is. It is like tagging someone in a picture. You are unable to control what other people post on their profiles, therefore if someone did not want to be found on a social networking site then they should not bother having an account as chances are people will come across them.
