    Correct. Imgur hasn’t implemented ID verification on their site, so the only other way to comply with UK law at present is to geoblock users from the UK.

    There are better hosts out there anyways, not sure why it is still so widely used here.

      Probably not a good host to use then on a UK instance & community when its target audience can’t see it unless they’re in a VPN.

      That’s actually not true.

      Imgur took their site down in the UK after they refused to pay a fine for monetising and improperly using kids data.

      It’s nothing to do with the OSA, although it happened at a similar time
