Say Cheese! The White House Just Lifted Its Social Media Ban



First Lady Michelle Obama officially announced on her Instagram this Wednesday that the White House will officially allow photos and social media posts on tours. The policy change will allow phones and compact still cameras with a lens less than three inches. Selfie sticks still aren't allowed, though, and neither are video cameras, tablets, and tripods. To see what pictures White House guests have already started taking, check out the photo gallery below.
