Instagram, Facebook Deal Sparks Privacy and Quality Concerns: Here's How to Quit

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stresses that Instagram will stay independent, but his reassuring words are doing little to stop people from thinking of the formerly indie app as a sellout.

For those with a propensity toward paranoia, the Facebooking of Instagram raises questions about what Facebook could do with their catalog of images once it gets its paws on them.

* Will Facebook run software against them, use images to link them to other people without consent, and share images with businesses?

And what about user data?

* Will Facebook snarf up all the information you've shared about yourself and friends with Instagram? * Will Facebook start geo-tagging Instagram images automatically--something Instagram doesn't do?
