KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 — Giphy, a popular GIF bank site, has been acquired by Facebook on the 15th of May for a reported price of US$400 million (RM1.7 billion). They plan to integrate Giphy’s massive GIF library into Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp. However, other apps and services...

that they plan to continue offering Giphy integration, as they even offer an official Facebook integration that lets you add an email signup form to a Facebook page and publish ads for your Mailchimp campaign to Facebook.Signal, a cross-platform encrypted messaging service, credits itself as an end-to-end encrypted privacy and security focused service. According to Signal founder

The Signal service never sees the plaintext contents of what is transmitted or received during gif searches because the TLS connection is negotiated directly with Giphy, and Giphy doesn’t know who issued the request because the TCP connection is proxied through the Signal service. “Giphy doesn’t receive any information about users or even companies using the Giphy for Slack integration, and only sees Slack usage of the Giphy API in aggregate,” said Brian Elliott, vice president and general manager of Slack.“No IP addresses or IDs, let alone phone numbers or other data, have ever been shared with Giphy,” said a Telegram spokesperson.

Other apps like iMessage, Snapchat, TikTok, Tinder, Pinterest, Reddit and Trello hasn’t yet made statements regarding plans to change how they work with the GIF site. However, apps like TikTok and Tinder offer the option to log in with your Facebook account so they might not be too concerned about Facebook’s acquisition.
