Instagram is awesome. I wish Facebook did not own them and Instagram stayed independent like Snapchat.

What would be different if Instagram was independent?

Facebook has become a privacy nightmare and has numerous concerns w/r/t ownership and management. Their role is the only reason I have any hesitation using Instagram, though I do fully embrace the platform anyway.

Can you articulate what it is about Facebook that is a 'privacy nightmare'?

not sure what the poster was talking about but the advertising became creepily targeted
