It's an interesting observation by +John Paul Caponigro. I'm sharing his post, so I'll include his commentary here, as well as a link to his original post:

Any G+ers Using Instagram ?
I was using Instagram. Because I object to the new new TOUs (they can change terms at any time without notification and hold you legally liable for anything they do with your images) I deleted all my previously posted images, I'm only looking not posting. I'm hoping this will change – again. There will be a panel on rights and social networks at this falls PhotoPlus spearheaded by ASMP and my hope is that this leads to a set of recommended guidelines / standards about fair usage and reporting by social networks that is adopted industry wide.
Google+'s terms are better, so I prefer to share images here. There's a decidedly different tone to the G+ community, less mobile/ instant/ train of thought / casual – which is often a pro – but leaves a need for communities like Instagram – or a way of differentiating these two kinds of content on G+.
I welcome your thoughts and comments.

So that's why attorneys put all that language in the terms and conditions… to be hip.
This step by Instagram is bound to eat up their share of the market pie.
