I do not believe this is the case - there is no software doing the conversion which would require the ability to read ICC profiles, always assuming that the image being uploaded has one. As you can see from this post no conversion of the Adobe RGB image has taken place and the test card looks flat and lacking in contrast. However, it is true that the assumed standard for web images is sRGB

Absolutely... which is why you should post in sRGB
