Facebook's acquisition of Instagram was bad for Jessica Burciaga
Lucas Meadows stashed this in Facebook
Stashed in: Twitter!, Celebrities, Facebook!, Instagram!, Instagram, G4!
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:
Courtnie Quinlan has also been tweeting about her problems with Mark Zuckerban.
Facebook banned me for this pic... #NoComment pic.twitter.com/E4lB0G8i
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. :)
