Not quite. The original (and still current) terms state:

you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide, limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce and translate such Content, including without limitation distributing part or all of the Site in any media formats through any media channels, except Content not shared publicly ("private") will not be distributed outside the Instagram Services

My non-lawyer understanding is that this allows them to apply their filters to the photos and display them on their website.

They changed the updated terms which will go into effect on January 19th:

you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or through the Service, subject to the Service's Privacy Policy, available here http://instagram.com/legal/privacy/, including but not limited to sections 3 ("Sharing of Your Information"), 4 ("How We Store Your Information"), and 5 ("Your Choices About Your Information"). You can choose who can view your Content and activities, including your photos, as described in the Privacy Policy.

So the updated terms going into effect were reworded, but not any less of a concern. They are adding the bits about the license being transferable and sub-licensable, and removing the bit that excludes private photos from these terms.
