Giphytold Gizmodoat the time that it had discovered a fault in its “ content moderation filters ” and promptly “ determine the bug and have re - moderated all of the GIF stickers in our subroutine library , ” as well as reviewed all stickers manually .
After several reviews and the increase of another layer of moderation , Instagram re - enabled Giphy integrationlast week , and apparently those measures are good enough for Snapchat too . Gizmodo confirmed that as of Tuesday night , it was potential to add a sticker on Snapchat using Giphy with no anti-Semite results for the Bible “ crime ” :
Giphy users are on the face of it prohibited from posting “ abusive , obscene , sickening , or vulgar ” material , but one of the peril of building a brand off of user - generated content is that said substance abuser will turn out to be jerk . Snapchat and Instagram had both only enable 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 land in next trouble . In the meanwhile , it seems thestupid pizza stickersand other generic animated # mental object shall course freely again .
