Gizmodo confirmed that as of Tuesday night, it was possible to add a sticker on Snapchat using Giphy with no racist results for the word \u201ccrime\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Giphy users are ostensibly prohibited from posting \u201cabusive, obscene, offensive, or vulgar\u201d material, but one of the risks of building a brand off of user-generated content is that said users will turn out to be jerks. Snapchat and Instagram had both only enabled Giphy integration a matter of weeks before the March incident, and time will tell whether the new changes will be enough to prevent the site from landing in future trouble. In the meantime, it seems the stupid pizza stickers and other generic animated #content shall flow freely again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt;color: #000000\">Source:-https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/giphy-is-back-on-instagram-and-snapchat-after-claiming-1824305452<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/giphy-back-instagram-snapchat-claiming-solved-racist-sticker-problem.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giphy Is Back on Instagram and Snapchat After Claiming to Have Solved Its Racist Sticker Problem Gif-sharing service Giphy is back on Snapchat after an incident last month involving an extremely goddamn racist gif that slipped past moderation filters, according to the Verge.
