Facebook denies 'listening' to conversations



Facebook vice-president of ads, Rob Goldman, was responding to a tweet by PJ Vogt, the presenter of a tech podcast called Reply All.

Many people report seeing adverts which appear to be related to recent, real-life conversations.

Mr Vogt had asked for details of these specific occasions.

"I run ads product at Facebook. We don't - and have never - used your microphone for ads. Just not true," Mr Goldman wrote.

When another Twitter user asked him if that included Instagram, which is also owned by Facebook, he replied, "Yes."
