Instagram chief Adam Mosseri says app doesn't eavesdrop on conversations, but Gayle King's not buying it.

Mosseri told King Tuesday on"CBS This Morning" it's straight-up dumb luck when an ad for something a user had just discussed in a private conversation uncannily shows up on their Instagram feed. Mosseri said IG doesn't look at users' messages or listen to their microphone.

But, check out the clip ... Gayle blasts Mosseri. And, when she asked if the same thing happens to him, Mosseri ... well, check it out -- it's super awkward. There's paranoia among users that Instagram -- which is owned by Facebook -- spies on users to gather ad-targeting information. The suspicions come just over a year after Facebook suffered a massive blow in consumer confidence following the Cambridge Analytica scandal ... when it was revealed Facebook allowed the third-party service to collect user data without consent.

Liar liar pants on fire Eddie Munster

Thought this was steve-O for a second

I need a million in my bank account😂😂😂

100% does. I was at a Fleetfarm and asked a employee about a live raccoon trap and an hour later Instagram and Facebook both ran ads in my feed selling live raccoon traps. Odd.... 1 into 2 billion that add ever targets my business account.

I’m with Gayle

Yes it does..the whole phone does

It is uncanny how it happens and it literally happens all the time.

So they're not listening.... but Instagram **exposes 13 y/o KIDS' PHONE + EMAIL in plain sight ** to 1B users WW. IG's safety info for parents of teens never says that IG allows this. If you don't want your 13 child's phone shown to strangers Please RT

😑

Get him, Gayle!

As we add AI into the mix this will only get worse. The snooping will give large tech companies access to personal information which the Artificial Intelligence algorithms will exploit for marketing purposes.

He just looks like a lying shitbird.

Well something is because it happens too often

Oh yes they do

Adam Lambert on What’s Changed for Gay Artists Since His ‘American Idol’ Run'There are always going to be shades of homophobia — sometimes internalized homophobia that I’ve encountered is from other gay people in the industry.' Adam Lambert talks being 'too gay' and his upcoming album What the Left never gets is that Tolerance and Acceptance are two very different things. A Degenerate is still a Degenerate. Adam is one of the greatest artists of this century.. the only problem he has, it's to spend too much energy on his sexual tendencies. I don't care if you are gay or not, don't base your career in something personal. You are gay? It's your joy or problem. I only care to hear you Being flamboyant and over the top doesn't have anything to do with being attracted to the same sex. People can not like your 'act' without being homophobic or self hating.
