Instagram, the massively popular photo sharing site purchased this year by Facebook, released its latest "Terms of Use" today, to the consternation of many of its more than seven million daily users. Most of the rules, which officially take effect January 16, include rational things like "no porn" and "you must be 13 to use Instagram." But a couple are rightfully pissing people off:

For all of humanity's greatness—the pyramids, the Hoover Dam, our capacity to love—human beings have proven ourselves quite capable of doing truly disgusting things, also, including waging wars, acting upon greed, and wearing those godforsaken toe shoes. In an effort to build a more just, rational, and aesthetically pleasing future, here is a list of 22 things Gawker is banning in 2013. At the stroke of midnight on December 31, be sure to either immediately stop doing the actions listed here, or, if it's an object that's being banned, a toe shoe, perhaps, incinerate it in a trash can. The civilized world thanks you!

Nickelback and Instagram are two things that are interminably ripe for mockery, so it stands to reason that marrying them in some way — like, say, by remixing the unholy earworm "Photograph" into a spoof song called "Look At This Instagram" — would yield a truly potent piece of satirical synergy.

Well, it's as good as official: It looks like Rihanna and Chris Brown are back in each other's arms after an early November denial by RiRi that the two had reunited.

One of the most difficult things about Halloween is trying to pick a costume that is sexier than your mom's costume.

Would you rather look at seven Instagram photos from Rihanna's Instagram feed or read a recent 7,340-word Vogue profile about how cool, hot and fashionable she is? Frankly, as a devout follower of miss badgalriri, I'd opt for the former. So, here is some advice: Do not read this Vogue profile—just look at these seven photos, and you will learn everything you would've (and more!) about your favorite coconut water spokesperson.

Chances are, when Facebook goes looking for an official Instagram theme song, Fat Joe's phone will not be ringing.

Yesterday, photos of Anderson Cooper's boyfriend Benjamin Maisani making out with some dude who is not Anderson Cooper surfaced. Today, longtime friends Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper let the Instagram world know that they're vacationing together in beautiful, romantic, sunset-filled Croatia.

Hey look, Iran's Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has joined Instagram. His feed is a quirky mix of blue-hued clouds above Supreme Leader HQ and selfies of him trying on different flowy robes late at night while "Jamin to Fiona Apple."

Instagram isn't just for pictures of sunsets and rich kids partying. The popular smartphone photo app has unleashed an army of amateur street photographers on the world. Daniel Arnold was one of the best, producing a stream of brilliantly voeyuristic snapshots of New York City streets—that is, he was until he got banned for posting boobs.

The premise of "Rich Kids of Instagram" is self-evident, but the Tumblr blog du jour still puts its mission statement upfront for the easily confused: "They have more money than you and this is what they do."

Perhaps it was frustration at not being in a theater screening Magic Mike — or horror at how strongly we react when our toys are taken away — but the internet did not handle it well when Netflix, Instagram, and Pinterest all went down last night.

Is Miley Cyrus poking fun at her wrist-cutting rumors?

What's new with Lana Del Rey and Jaime King, you ask? Instagram photoshoots, mostly. In honor of Jaime King's 33rd birthday, the two posed in LDR's Mercedes convertible for Kyle Newman, Jaime's photographer husband.

On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart recapped two big tech stories that recently broke: Google's announcement about their Google Glasses product and Facebook buying Instagram for one billion dollars. Stewart doesn't quite get any of it - to him, Google Glasses are unnecessary and Instagram ruins pictures. He's not necessarily wrong, but he is definitely old.

Kevin Systrom, 28, made off quite well when he sold his company Instagram to Facebook, personally clearing a reported $400 million, or $725,000 per day of work. But Systrom, described by one associate as an "ultra nerd," didn't get there on his own. Longtime girlfriend Nicole Schuetz has been with him the whole way.

In by far its largest acquisition to date, Facebook said it will buy photo-sharing service instagram for $1 billion, or about $100 million per Instagram employee. At last, the world will be blessed with a fresh gigantic explosion in Instagram-manipulated pics.

Last night Obama joined Instagram, the hip iphone photo app that lets you use artsy filters to make your photos look crappy and old, in a romantic way. Obama's really making a bid for the 18-30 "spends too much time on the internet" demo.
