Eugen RochkoSo every time someone posts a #Giphy GIF in a chat and every time you open Giphy in your app / keyboard, Facebook will get data on you, did I get that right? Is that why a GIF collection was worth $400M?
stux⚡️@Gargron Huh, whats up with Giphy?
Nicolas Constant@NicolasConstant Thank you Nicolas 🙇
Julien Deswaef@Gargron Nah, it's the trojan horse into Slack. That's what it is. Once they own Giphy, they pretty much own Slack.
fatboy 
@Gargron I think they should have charged FB $10 Billion for giphy
Vincent Cloutier@Gargron Giphy also gets paid to inject "branded gif"/ads into their search... 🤮
Chris Burgess@Gargron imagine being able to buy insight into people's vocabulary
Facebook reduced vocab through ux first to "like" then to a limited set of reactions, now it will observe expression selection in real-time

Wouldn't doubt it

Tagomago@Gargron Can't be more redundant data on their system by now.

They've spent time and effort to avoid exactly what you describe.

“Giphy was just acquired by Facebook, but GIF searches in Signal have been protected by a privacy-preserving proxy from the very beginning. The Giphy SDK isn't included in the app at all.
