Instagram, the photos sharing social network, said Tuesday, it will remove language from its new terms of service that would have allowed users' photos to be part of advertisements.

The network's co-founder Kevin Systrom, in a blog post, said Instagram doesn't currently have plans to run such ads, so it will remove that language from the terms of service that was scheduled to begin in January 2013, reported the Los Angeles Times.

"Yesterday we introduced a new version of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service that will take effect in thirty days. These two documents help communicate as clearly as possible our relationship with the users of Instagram so you understand how your data will be used, and the rules that govern the thriving and active Instagram community. Since making these changes, we’ve heard loud and clear that many users are confused and upset about what the changes mean. I’m writing this today to let you know we’re listening and to commit to you that we will be doing more to answer your questions, fix any mistakes, and eliminate the confusion. As we review your feedback and stories in the press, we’re going to modify specific parts of the terms to make it more clear what will happen with your photos."

"We do not have plans for anything like this and because of that we’re going to remove the language that raised the question," Systrom wrote in the blog.

Even Congressman Ed. Markey (D-MA), who represents Framingham and has a regional office in town, issued a statement before the reversal.

Markey, co-chair of the Bi-Partisan Congressional Privacy Caucus, said “A picture is worth a thousand words; posting one to Instagram should not cost you your privacy. I am very concerned that Instagram’s new privacy policies and terms of service are putting consumer privacy at risk, especially that of teenagers. I will closely monitor this situation and hope Instagram takes the necessary steps to ensure that personal information is protected and not sold without permission.”
