    But… Hasn’t imgur been SFW only for a while now?

    Maybe they got sent one of offcom’s shitty letters and are kneejerking to prove a point. Bit poor there’s been no statement from them before doing this.

      They block porn afaik, but not journalism. Journalism is illegal in the UK so that is a problem of course.

      Seriously tho what i mean is war footage, Gaza footage, images promoting “proscribed” groups, etc.
      All things that children are not allowed to see, because we couldnt possible confront them with the war crimes that their parents are funding with their taxes.

      That’s unrelated to porn at least from what the ICO has disclosed. They are concerned about how Imgur handles children data’s. When a child subscribes and uploads data to their services. Which is obviously SFW. But one should take special care about those data which apparently Imgur doesn’t do. Like about everyone else though based on what I see around me… But sometimes regulatory bodies like setting examples and sending messages.
