imgur blocked - rich2005 - 09-30-2025
As title, Imgur has blocked the UK due to the recent data protection laws.
Any one else affected ?
I know it has a chequered history, but it is/was a nice easy site for quick image posts.
Any decent alternatives ....

Data protection or age verification?

Quote:UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).... said on Tuesday it had reached initial findings in its investigation and, on 10 September, issued MediaLab with a notice of intent to impose a fine.
Yes, it is age verification and threat of a fine, also MediaLab AI is a registered in the UK company, so the company officers can be jailed under recent protection-from-content laws.
I have had it bookmarked but never used, not as convenient as imgur but looks like imgbox.com as the alternative.

Australia is getting age verification for 'social media'. It's being done by AI so it should work properly
