I’ve been using imgur to save random images for what feels like a decade and not a single one has been deleted
You’re not in england. England banned imgur because they’re trying to build a database of internet users for oppression purposes and imgur said no.
No, imgur isn’t banned, they were threatened with a fine, and it wasn’t because of three online safety act, it was because they were tagging user data with suspected age range, and selling browsing habits of children. The ICO said that they had to come up with a plan to exclude the child data from sale out they could be liable for a fine. Rather than implement a simple filter on the database, they implemented a complicated geofencing filter because they took offence at being regulated at all.
Wow that’s a lot of pointless words. They were told to implement an internet user tracking system or be fined, but since they have no desire or obligation to do so they chose to cease operating under those rules. This has nothing to do with children and everything to do with tracking adults, there’s your ‘simply’. Trying to spin this as ‘protect the children’ is as hollow as your soul.
You are factually incorrect and clearly haven’t read the ICO report, falling for the corpo spin instead.
I understand that you believe what you’re saying but I don’t think you’re factually correct. You’re parroting the propaganda of a censorship and tracking regime that has no sincere desire to help children in any way.
The good news is that this is already teaching a whole new generation of UK citizens the value of VPNs and encrypted paths out of the ever-tightening information noose the UK has been trying to create for the last 41 years.
You think I disagree with you about the OSA. I don’t. I disagree with you about imgur. Imgur is a greedy corp who deleted a bunch of old posts but excluded ones with a subscription and sold child browsing habits and blamed it all on the OSA when the investigation predated the OSA. It was already illegal to sell children’s data without parental consent in the UK for years and years. They’re not the good guys fighting for internet freedom they’re painting themselves as.
