Facebook's acquisition of Instagram was bad for Jessica Burciaga

Referring to the fact that Instagram/Facebook kicked her off for posting photos which were too risqué, though her photos had been considered acceptable up until the acquisition.

To put this in context, here is a fairly typical Instagram photo for Jessica Burciaga:

On May 12 Jessica tweeted: "Awww man I think instagram deleted me lmaoo, maybe Theodore was too sexy for them" (referring to her dog Theodore -- some kind of puffy lapdog).

Then on June 12 she tweeted: "When instagram deleted a picture of me and @sarahstage having margaritas I knew they were getting strict lol, no one is safe."

That same day she also tweeted: "ever since Facebook bought instagram they've been deleting ppl like crazy."

So several weeks ago she created a new Instragram account, but of course has been having exactly the same trouble again.

I wonder how long it will be until she (and others like her) start to leave Instagram en masse, and where they will go.

A "square bear"?! Who talks like that??

Why would Facebook delete Whales like @JessicaBurciaga ??

Because they'd rather she use twitpic?

Or they'd rather others post pictures with the #jessicaburciaga hashtag instead?

Or maybe Facebook just doesn't like her?

FYI: We call her a "Whale" because she has 150k Twitter followers.

And because she likes to be near the beach:

Sounds like sound business decision making. Everybody knows sex does not sell.

Also everybody knows that nobody ever starts an internet discussion or writes a newspaper article as a thinly veiled excuse to post scantily clad pictures. :)

And... she's back.

Check out the difference between Twitter and Instagram for the same image:

Twitter users gave her 7 stars, whereas Instagram users gave her 2700 hearts.

2700 vs. 7. DAMN.

Mother of Hearts!
