Adam Mosseri
QuestionPoints out that Instagram's stated age/gender/location-only ad-targeting limit applies to advertisers but not to Instagram's own ML ad-delivery system, and asks whether that's a double standard.
ResponseMosseri confirms Instagram's own delivery system does use in-app teen activity data beyond age/gender/location to target ads, framing it as relevance rather than the same kind of targeting advertisers are restricted from.
