The author has no Instagram himself, but through his friends who photograph him at events, others still know (and more importantly judge) about his activities.

Such leakage through other parties might be the greatest risk to privacy.

Having your photo taken in any public place can lead to this. They know what will happen with photos taken and the alternative to this is excluding yourself from activities with friends and that is a choice the author can make.
