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.
