As a Brit.

Good - cause the maximum amount of pain, start pulling services across the board - the more it happens the more painful it becomes for the government to defend it.



Likewise, as a Brit, I hope more mainstream sites do this until people realise how stupid or authoritarian (but I repeat myself) the UK's Online Safety Act is. VPN companies must be enjoying these shenanigans.


It would be more effective if this was about the online saftey act. Ironically Imgur is probably already compliant with it (they already have moderation policies that go above what the OSA requires)

This is about a GDPR violation. I'm not sure that cheering for our right to have our privacy respected by companies revoked is really what we want.


There was a fair bit of pain in 2014 when ISPs proxied non-https Imgur to do IWF filtering (and broke it). Yet here we are!
