Instagram has announced that it recently reached the milestone of 500 million monthly users, which is certainly a cause for celebration.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO, owner and founder of Instagram's developer Facebook posted a whimsical celebratory picture of himself, marking the achievement.
However, one Twitter user noticed a few creepy quirks about the way Zukcerberg sets his laptop up that might have some implications for our privacy- and perhaps a hint that we should be taking ours more seriously.
Thanks to Edward Snowden, we all know that the USA's National Security Agency have a habit of gathering info about US citizens by monitoring their phone and online activity.
