Data Breach: Millions of Instagram ‘influencers,’ celebrities, and brands’ data found online
I hardly care after seeing this (pretty good) documentary just yesterday:
#followme is a new documentary film about Instagram released on Instagram. The 49-minute film aims to expose the “lawless economics of Instagram,” diving into the “shocking” world beneath the surface of a photo-sharing social network that’s home to 1 billion active users.
Created by the Dutch public broadcaster VPRO, the free-to-watch film was launched this week on Instagram TV but can also be watched as a vertical YouTube video above.
