- jimkleiber 5y agoWhoa FB bought Giphy? I guess I missed that in the heat of the pandemic. Goodness I wish there were fewer acquisitions.
- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoIs Tenor still independent?
- dustyharddrive 5y agotenor was purchased by google in 2018 (https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/27/google-acquires-gif-platform-tenor/ https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/27/google-acquires-gif-platfo...) (edit to add info and link)
- anderskaseorg 5y agoNope, you aren’t. Zulip proxies all external images in messages through the server, including those from Giphy, to stop them from being used to track you. (Also, Giphy integration can be disabled per-organization by an organization administrator.)
- ArmandGrillet 5y agoSide note: Signal does this as well, this is why privacy-oriented services still offer a Giphy integration.
