Every time you share a GIPHY, you send your data to: *checks notes* 816 partners 🤯🤯🤯

Since people liked the screen recording with the zoom effects, I used screen studio:

@GIPHY 🤯

@GIPHY I feel like your startup could make a lot of money here 👀

@GIPHY 👀 Tell me more?

@GIPHY

@GIPHY When somethings free, you’re the product

@GIPHY Unless @Apple has started proxying traffic to Giphy like @signalapp every iMessage conversation using Gifs will be leaking IP addresses. Each gif rendering in iMsg, @X , @SlackHQ reveals data about the viewer. @josephfcox

@GIPHY Also: I'm an EU citizen and I never gave my consent.

@GIPHY Only if you consent to it via the cookie banner.

@GIPHY No cookie banners in Slack, Telegram, Your keyboard app, ...

@GIPHY *chuckles in GDPR*

@GIPHY Giphy has always been highly censored too. Since day one of the plandemic you could tell something was fishy about them cause they capitulated immediately to the controlling oligarchy.

@GIPHY Sad part that it’s not only Giphy doing this, most of popular services and websites share data with hordes of advertisers

@sushicomabacate @GIPHY

@GIPHY 🤮

@GIPHY I checked, in Mar 2023 before the sale from FB to Shutterstock - Giphy had just "two" partners. Google Analytics, and Google Optimize. Shutterstock has exploited it as much as humanly possible now, selling every piece of data it can to as many people as possible.

@GIPHY 😀

@GIPHY wtaf

@GIPHY What are they doing with these cookies/data?

@GIPHY

@GIPHY Wtf!!!!!!!!!!

@GIPHY That’s why we must create our own custom GIFs

@GIPHY I can't see those partners 👀 I tested this Brave and edge if this is the case, I guess we are sharing too much info with every consumer facing app. haha, all you need is VPN now.

@GIPHY Open it in incognito

@GIPHY real talk: how do you pronounce?

@GIPHY Howdy. Partner. Gotta make money somehow lmao.

@GIPHY Now that it's more visual, it has more impact. But dang, that's a lot of data sharing for one GIF.
