Instagram just set off a bomb inside its new privacy policy and terms of service. New wording essentially makes it possible to turn people’s photos posted after Jan. 16 using Instagram into advertisements. In other words, that sutro-toned picture of your beloved Lhasa apso freshly coiffed after her grooming might well become an ad for Classy Canine Dog Salon.Source: Forbes||Did You Really Think Facebook Wouldn't Turn Your Instagram Photos Into Ads?
For those who are upset about Instagram's new TOS, please consider these alternatives:
Flickr. I think this is the best option for most people, and the one with the most promise.
It has both free and paid options. I use the paid option and have been very happy with it since 2007 or so.
My profile over there is http://www.flickr.com/photos/thunder-pig/
Another option is Photobucket, which I've used since 2005. They have both free and paid options and I use the paid option because it is the service I use to host nearly all the photos for my blog. You can also upload videos, too and I used it to host videos before Youtube came along.

You might also consider Picasa. I have an account, but don't use it very much even though I have unlimited bandwidth because I am a member of Google Plus.

And then there is Google Plus. I have, as far as I know, unlimited bandwidth there, too. It also allows you to upload from your phone.

And the bonus? All of the above sites acknowledge that YOU own your photos. What an amazing concept!
