Instagram faces class action lawsuit for updated terms of service

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Instagram over the company’s controversial update to its terms of service last week.

The civil lawsuit, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accuses Instagram of violating the property rights of its users and breaching its existing terms of service. It was filed initially on behalf of a single user but says there are “tens of thousands of members” in the state whose rights were violated by Instagram’s update.

Instagram faces a class-action lawsuit over proposed changes to its user agreement.

“Plaintiff is acting to preserve valuable and important property, statutory, and legal rights, through injunctive, declaratory and equitable relief issued by this Court before such claims are forever barred by adoption of Instagram’s New Terms,” the filing said.
