Would transcoding GIFs to VP9 and repackaging them into WEBMs be enough to eschew sanctions ?

- blululu 4y agoNo, Giphy, GifyCat, Tenor and pretty much every other gif distribution service has already done something like this from the get go. The GIF is just not well suited for large scale distribution when html supports <video> elements that support non-garbage file formats. I would assume the current ruling is meant to cover 'gifs' as a broad term for looping short form video.
- spookie 4y agoGIF ain't garbage. It's still king for certain types of images, a format from the 80's.
