It wouldn't be Instagram suing you. It would be the owner of the photo that uploaded it to Instagram. By uploading it to Instagram, they're granting Instagram a license, but they aren't granting you a license. People can still claim copyright over the images they've uploaded to Instagram. Instagram has the right to sublicense content that has been uploaded, but they've explicitly said that they aren't doing that.

It can be argued that by uploading the photo to a public website they have granted everyone a license to instruct computers to display that photo (that's literally what embeds do)? Also, since Instagram has an embed feature, surely they have something in their ToS that ask the user to grant a license to Instagram to display the content not just on the main website but on any website that embeds the Instagram-hosted content?
