#TheDailyThree - March 12, 2018

Welcome back to #TheDailyThree, a weekday recap featuring three top stories in digital + a few thoughts. Today’s #TheDailyThree features stories on Giphy, tweet decking and #TimesUpAdvertising.

1. Over the weekend Snapchat + Instagram temporarily removed their new & decently popular Giphy integration due to the availability of a racist gif. Giphy explained themselves + said they’ve remedied the situation, yet as of this time it hasn’t been reintegrated.

2. In an effort to combat spam, Twitter has suspended multiple accounts accused of ‘tweetdecking,’ a technique where accounts w/ a lot of followers RT each other’s content to force virality. Many of these accounts are also accused of stealing content.

3. 180 female advertising leaders today announced #TimesUpAdvertising, an initiative aimed at bringing sexual harassment + gender inequality issues in the ad industry to a halt. The group is calling on EVERY agency to get on board via a letter released today.
