There are not even news articles about it yet.Many sites are now choosing to block the entire UK rather than comply with the draconian Online Safety Act censorshiphttps://www.resetera.com/threads/imgur-now-appears-to-be-blocked-in-the-uk.1311961/https://www.neogaf.com/threads/image-hosting-website-imgur-blocked-in-u-k.1688604/
>>1443468>resetera.com>neogaf.comDo you have any better source than this?
>>1443470Nope, you can try to google it and no news articles come up. Only posts from many different places. And I can also ascertain that it is happening.https://old.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1nu63bx/imgur_now_appears_to_be_blocked_in_the_uk/
>>1443470I just tried it and its block. Will you take my word as a gentleman?
>>1443468>>1443471According to this story it appears imgur is the one blocking the UK not the other way around.https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2025/09/popular-image-sharing-site-imgur-com-blocks-access-to-uk-visitors.html

>>1443480Thus >>1443468 is a liar. But then, lies & hypocrisy are hardwired into the DNA of rightards.
>>1443480>>1443489>Many sites are now choosing to block the entire UK rather than comply with the draconian Online Safety Act censorshipCan you guys even read the OP? Or are you bots? OP stated clearly that sites are blocking the UK, not the UK blocking sites.
I now have to use Opera with it's built in VPN to view porn and Imgur. Thank you, UK for protecting me from memes
>>1443498>>1443468>Imgur blocked in UKCan you & the OP read? Or the thread title would have been 'UK blocked by Imgur'But then, damage limitation due to lying is par for the course for rightards
>>1443573Imgur's options are to either try and probably fail to implement the ID measures, or block the country so it can't sue them when a 17 year old sees the word fuck in a gif or whatever.
This "w-well actually imigur banned itself" narrative is the point. This law bans porn and explicit content. It does so by requiring sites that host such content to do things that are just plain not feasible and impose huge legal penalties when they fail to do so. >>1443585 is right, and it's entirely by design. This way they have the excuse of saying "Well, if they don't want to comply with the law and drop service then that's their choice, not ours" while knowing full well that complying with the law is effective impossible.
>the draconian Online Safety Act censorshipSimilar kind of laws keep passing around the world (UK, Australia, US, Brazil and Canada introduced a bill I think) what will happen when it does in every country then will a vpn even work anymore? If there's no country left to shift location where these sites or apps aren't banned
>>1443500I've been using it already for years
>>1443669The VPNs just need to find a country with Swedish-bank tier internet laws.
>>1443712And then ban any IP addresses routed through that country
>>1443573>I only read the title, that means you're lying.
>>1443669>brazilonline censorship only really happens here if you attack the governmentthis country is the king of online porn and piracy
>>1443468>resetera.com>neogaf.comThose are not acceptable sources. The rules require that only jew-owned and jew-controlled mass media are acceptable, because only they tell the truth (ahem).
The title says it's blocked in UK, not by UK. Anyone who can't tell the difference is restarted.
>>1444480>>1444480>Anyone who can't tell the difference is restarted.Retarded. There is no meaninful difference. British government made it illegal and they stopped supplying it to comply with the law.>hut dur pistols aren't banned, pistol makers just don't sell them any more because the law.
