Imgur is one of the world’s largest image-sharing communities, originally created in 2009 by Alan Schaaf as a gift to Reddit users. The service grew into a massive platform, boasting over 60 billion memes, GIFs, and images viewed by its 150 million monthly users. Now, it has pulled out of the UK following a warning of potential fines from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Users in the region trying to access the site are met with the error message: Content not available in your region.

    Thats how you do it. Cut the UK off and let people/businesses complain to the representatives. If every online service did this, this BS online safety wouldnt stand a chance.
