You should have kept this private

KnuthIsGod · 1d ago

Get a good lawyer...

bigbaldhead · 1d ago

why?

ToS are not law.

KnuthIsGod · 1d ago

OK then, don't get a good lawyer.

Shrugs..

Let Instagram's legal team roll right over you.

And if the data you are stealing belongs to accounts belonging to people based in Europe, GDPR will join the rolling over party.

Have fun.

bigbaldhead · 1d ago

I thought the photos (the script only downloads the photos) were public and could be downloaded

123yawaworht456 · 1d ago

>the data you are stealing

when you look at a picture in your browser or an app, it's already been 'stolen' to your device.

half a billion teenage girls are 'stealing' data from instagram twelve hours a day.

bigbaldhead · 1d ago

removed it, I hate instagram

LargoLasskhyfv · 1d ago

Should have used a chinese hosting service like https://gitee.com/ for reasons of ...errm... legal ambivalence ;->
