On September 3, 2024 a pro-Islamic State (ISIS) outlet warned supporters to be careful while using the social media platform Instagram because it "listens to every user for advertising purposes." The channel claimed that Instagram's partner Cox Media Group (CMG) confirmed that it uses AI to analyze conversations taking place near a smartphone to provide targeted ads. For this reason, the channel advised its readers to turn off Instagram's access to the microphone to protect sensitive information from leaking, and avoid using it at all costs.
