President Instagram has a very important announcement for those who use the application daily to expose their lives on the Internet, or to obsessively follow other people. According to Adam Mosseri, the Instagram application does not spy on the conversations of the users who use it, even if the users see ads based on conversations with different people.
Various theories began to appear on the Internet about Instagram and Facebook after various people saw ads in the applications based on conversations they had with certain people. The president of Instagram says that the display of ads in accordance with certain topics that users have recently discussed can be purely coincidental.
On the other hand, he also says that users would have interacted with content related to that topic before entering Instagram, and that's how the respective ads were displayed. Instagram, like Facebook, says that it does not spy on conversations, but the applications have often been "caught" doing other things that are not exactly normal for their profile.
"One is dumb luck, which can happen. The second is you might be talking about something because it's top of mind because you've been interacting with that type of content more recently. It's top of mind, maybe it's subconscious and then it bubbles up later. I think this kind of thing happens often in a way that's really subtle."
