Imgur now non-functional in UK

Featured Replies

Can't see anything else about this here, but only had a brief look so please delete this if duplicating information.

Just a FYI. Imgur now no longer operates in the UK (new data regs issues) so anybody posting images using imgur from elsewhere in the world will be able to continue doing so but these images won't be visible in the UK. UK posters can no longer post on imgur. 

Another fine example of the law of unintended consequences.

Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case. Sims in use - 2020, 2024, XP-12 and -11, FSX/SE, P3Dv4.5 and v5.4. DCS and AFS2 installed but rarely used

Bummer, I use imgur … so why is the UK banning it?

Probably due to online safety acts eg age verifications etc, same thing similar here in oz about to happen about social media apps where you need to prove your over 16

Yep. Exactly that. Guess they thought it wasn't worth the hassle of setting up a whole new verification process for what is effectively a free service anyway and figured the simplest solution was to block the place.

Because they prefer playing Whack A Mole instead of dealing with root causes.
