Kodak has deleted a photo from its official Instagram account after its content upset Chinese netizens. Previous images on Kodak's timeline only share the photographer's username as well as the Kodak product used to create the image. What is more likely is that Kodak shared the image, linked to Wack's Instagram, and the caption could be easily seen there by those who navigated to Wack's profile. For Kodak, it is better for the company to realize that there are numerous photographers and vloggers in China who use Kodak products to create works that reflect life in Xinjiang, and who know more about Xinjiang than Wack. If Kodak really cares about Xinjiang, why it is not promoting works by Chinese photographers to netizens worldwide? Kodak appears to, at least to some degree, agree with this sentiment, as it has deleted the photo and apologized for its publication. The views expressed by Mr. Wack do not represent those of Kodak and are not endorsed by Kodak.
