GIF? Come on! Emotions are already mostly a tool for the illiterate; now it gets even worse...
...never mind what about all the related web searches, cookies, data traffic and indirect monitoring of message content?

Get Real! No one cares about imagery - think about the imagery at Anchor Watt!

As soon as this article appeared, i noticed the quantity of gifs available dried up considerably. Even some innocuous search terms bring up no images.  Could it be that they went in the opposite direction and made it too restrictive?
