So every time someone posts a #Giphy GIF in a chat and every time you open Giphy in your app / keyboard, Facebook will get data on you, did I get that right? Is that why a GIF collection was worth $400M?

@Gargron apparently not on Signal: twitter.com/signalapp/status/1

They've spent time and effort to avoid exactly what you describe.

@berkes @Gargron Unfortunately, giphy still knows about the aggregated usage of all of Signal. They can probably estimate how many users they have, where they are using search timestamps, and their interests. What Signal has done helps a lot still though!
