it's fake. i just checked my privacy policy and the most recent update is from September. don't worry about it.

Its fake . There are a bunch of font apps on the app stores that enable them to do this . If you read it , it has a spelling error , and its not in instagrams privacy policy . Just a kid thirsty for followers .

this is a fake warning. people have been posting these a while back, and nothing has ever happened. i wouldn't repost. this is a scam and a lie. if you post it, you have the potential risk of losing many followers for false information.

That was clearly written by an idiot. It is definitely fake, or someone needs to be fired.
Here are the errors:
-There should be a comma after "2013" in the first sentence.
-"a huge mass" sounds like crap. It should be something like "a large number".
-"instagram" should have a capital "i" because it is a proper noun.
-"dont't" should only have one "t".
-"This..." should be replaced with "It".
-"...cost..." should be "costs".
-"...and then create..." remove the "then".
-"spams" should be replaced with "spam" which is plural.
-"..of instagram" again, the "i" should be capitalized.
-(The rest is technically grammatically correct; it just sounds like sh*t. This reminds me of the emails I get from Nigerian Princes wanting to give me money.)
