Imgur blocks access to UK users after regulator warned of fine

Image-hosting platform Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content.
...
The UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform's parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children's personal data.
...
A document published by the ICO alongside the launch of its investigation stated that Imgur did not ask visitors to declare their age when setting up an account.
...
"Our findings are provisional and the ICO will carefully consider any representations from MediaLab before taking a final decision whether to issue a monetary penalty," said Tim Capel, an interim executive director at the ICO.

They've backed down on making digital IDs compulsory muriel_volestrangler Jan 28 #22
