    Hi,

     

    Microsoft does not manage these gifs, it is handled by an external service called Giphy. So reporting it to Microsoft won't help you. And changing policy to Strict will not stop this GIF, it will still be there.

     

    Giphy uses the MPAA rating (Y, G, PG, PG-13, and R) and the GIF you sent is rated G. G = "GENERAL AUDIENCES" (Nothing that would offend parents for viewing by children.). Strict will not remove gifs rated G.

    So instead you should go to Giphy.com and search for that gif and report it.

        I'm joining this conversation several years late. Teams currently uses Y ratings for its strict moderation. Was it different back in 2019? Y= "Young Audiences" wouldn't that be more restrictive than General audiences?
