Meanwhile 4chan ignored it. Got a fine and laughed. Then as far as I can tell, nothing happened. They are not going to pay the fine because why the fuck would they? 4chan still works just fine in the UK, you don't even need a VPN.

I'm not convinced this is the reason for the Imgur block. They were asked by the UK about how they processed the data for minors at the start of the year. They refused to provide it, and were then fined. When the age check was implemented I think they used that as an excuse to block the UK, so they "weren't operating in it" and didn't need to answer the questions.

The UK gov disagrees with that and is planning more legal action iirc.

If they had done the block without that law, people would be asking why they were not revealing how they process data of minors.

oOOH they LIKE that! "How old are you child? Are you 7? 8? 9? Because if you're 18 we are not interested. There is no way this can backfire, see, come here why don't you give me your data and your mobile phone number. Are you old enough to have a government ID yet? No? Goood, goood."

Sign in with Facebook is probably a huge hit /s

I FEEL SO MUCH GOD DAMNED SAFER THANK GOD THAT THIS ENDED PEDOPHILIA AND TERRORISM SUCH A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR THAT

Very soon, you'll need a VPN loicence.

I just use tor. A bit hit or miss whether I will be blocked by the website, but it's okay.

Same here. No idea what anyone is talking about.
