Out of all the stories from this past week, none drew a bigger response from our readers than Facebook acquisition of Instagram. The Monday announcement prompted many users of the photo-sharing app to delete the app altogether.

Mashable reader Trager Jonnes understood the outrage that some Instagram users felt about the acquisition “given FB’s history of awful privacy controls and commercial use of personal information.”

In addition to our community’s reaction to the Instagram acquisition, readers also continued the discussion about employers asking interviewees for their Facebook login information. Mashable commenter rjsinc added his opinion that ”your personal time has nothing to do with your work for most jobs.”

At Mashable, we’re always on the lookout for thoughtful, insightful comments that add to our story or further the discussion. Take a look at this week’s top comments and let us know what you think.
