DFM chat on user-generated content via Instagram, Pinterest, SeeClickFix, oh my!

Today we're talking about user generated content: How to get it, vet it, use it. The ethics of it all, and dealing with new tools. How do you deal with photos from Instagram if they've been altered? How do you vet the source of a Pinterest pin or a post in SeeClickFix? How do you credit a YouTube source? What in the world are you talking about?
