When I visit imgur.com while on a VPN pretending I’m from the UK, it returns a “Imgur is temporarily over capacity, please try again later” error. Toggling it off and on goes from working fine to that same message over and over, so they either are having issues on servers that they are directing UK traffic to - which is possible - or they’re just pretending to be having capacity issues to not raise suspicion of not wanting to comply.

I’m getting this response from a uk IP:
{"data":{"error":"Content not available in your region."},"success":false,"status":400}This is what I get when viewing from the UK
