I wonder if Signal will now remove their Giphy integration... edit: Guess they won't ... We have always used a proxy for our requests to GIPHY, and will continue to do so. There should be no harm in continuing to use it. https://signal.org/blog/signal-and-giphy-update/ Quote from a Signal dev https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/9628#issuecomment-629360756 https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/9628#issu...

I saw this on my twitter feed this morning. They don't include the Giphy SDK. They act as a proxy and (ab)use range requests so they don't even see the size of the returned GIF. It's a really interesting read. And that blog post is from 2017 so those measures have been in place for 2.5 years already.
