Breaking: Instagram Exodus!!! [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE]

Here’s what I saw, reading the tech news this morning:

BREAKING: Instagram lost tens of millions of users due to the TOS backlash!!!

Update: Actually, it wasn’t very many.

Update 2: Actually, any loses had nothing to do with the TOS fiasco.

Update 3: Actually, the data is fundamentally flawed.

Update 4: Actually, Instagram has gained users since the situation.

Update 5: Fuck. Whatever. This still totally matters. Reasons.

Another sterling day for the tech press.

Why Howard Kurtz Is Dangerously Wrong

Michael Arrington on the David Gregory AR-15 magazine fiasco:

If I was Gregory I would proudly turn myself in to the police and plead guilty to violating the law. It would be a powerful message that he truly believes in the laws he’s supporting and is willing to make a personal sacrifice to make this country safer. The fact that he isn’t doing that shows little more than hypocrisy.

That’s absolutely the right play here. How does Gregory not see that?
