Twitter Will No Longer Support Animated PNG Files: Report
"PNGs were fun, but they don't respect autoplay settings, so we're removing the ability to add them to tweets. This is for the safety of people with sensitivity to motion and flashing imagery, including those with epilepsy." Twitter also said PNGs used up a lot of data, and could in some circumstances cause app crashes. It is not clear how many people may have been affected by the attack, the foundation said has filed criminal complaints against accounts believed to have been involved.
