 Cool! Unfortunately they also come with viruses and exploits, so I needed to implement the whole scanning pipeline to enable them on the backend 🐶🐾😂🔥

 What do you mean? Can you explain further? I don't typically download SVG. Just make them.

 SVGs can have executable code in them, and bad actors can use them to exploit people’s devices. We scan all our vulnerable media for this type of things before it is accessible 🐶🐾🫡
