Social media apps should not have the right to use your photos. People have been letting social media apps use their photos without being completely aware. Most people are too lazy or may not understand when reading the Terms and Conditions.

Shortening the Terms and Conditions would possibly increase the number of people that read it. It also may be hard for language learners to fully understand and comprehend.

Since most people do not realize that social media apps have the rights to use their photos, they do not realize that more people have the ability to see it.

People that do not know the rights could end up in trouble. People make mistakes and may not realize what is in the background of their photos.

For example, if someone takes a selfie and there’s something unwanted in the background, the app now has rights to the photo. It cannot be deleted, the app will always have it.

Also, if another person uses an account that is not theirs, they did not agree to the apps having access to photos of them. If people knew what they were agreeing to, they would rethink what they take photos of. This limits the freedom of the app user because they might have photos they only want certain people to see.

Social media having access to photos takes away the right for you to decided whether or not you want your photos to be private or public. Such as, Instagram, you have the decision on whether or not they want their accounts to be public or private.

Most people want to be able to use the social media app but do not want to have to pay the price that comes with using the app. Other than the fact that it is an invasion of privacy, why does the apps want rights to your photos? No one except the owners of the social media apps know what is done with the photos.

People should at least know what their photos are being used for. The fact that people do not know just makes it even more questionable. There is no real need for a social media app to have the rights to use your photos.
