That’s unrelated to porn at least from what the ICO has disclosed. They are concerned about how Imgur handles children data’s. When a child subscribes and uploads data to their services. Which is obviously SFW. But one should take special care about those data which apparently Imgur doesn’t do. Like about everyone else though based on what I see around me… But sometimes regulatory bodies like setting examples and sending messages.
It's funny though, don't you think? None of the other European countries have been blocked, and they have the exactly same GDPR and child protection law that the ICO claims it is pursuing.
I personally think that Imgur banned the UK for simple business reasons. We don't generate enough income for them to bother adhering to GDPR plus the OSA. As Europe presses ahead with similar censorship legislation I imagine it will ban them too, or any of those that do pursue it for GDPR breaches.
This is fragmenting the internet is of course is bad for everyone.
Each county’s authority has its priorities… and UK isn’t Europe anymore so there’s no necessarily any spreading of this specific issue. I share you feelings about the fragmenting of the Internet as we knew it. This is a very big problem for everyone’s freedom in my opinion. But also a very tricky issue with how it conflicts with the notion of territoriality : this was honestly bound to happen sooner or later. I wish we could be another layer outside the reach of isps and countries.
