Imgur is a very popular image sharing service that now no longer works in the UK. As a UK resident I've noticed some of my posts no longer display their images. Nothing we can do, and if you ask me this is utterly brainless and the digital equivalent to having to show your ID to enter a shop because there's a few copies of playboy at the back...

Yet another checkmark in the stupid column for the UK's new online safety act...

In any case you can continue to directly upload your files to your posts, as well as use GIF's directly from the post editor.

Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory...

The image-hosting platform - which is widely used to make memes - was facing a fine over its use of children's data.

It’s definitely frustrating when a service you rely on suddenly becomes unavailable due to new regulations. The UK's online safety act seems to be stirring up quite a bit of controversy with its impact on platforms like Imgur. While it's a bummer to lose access, directly uploading files or using GIFs from the post editor can be a handy workaround. Has anyone found any other alternatives or creative solutions for sharing images in the meantime?

It’s frustrating to see Imgur no longer accessible in the UK due to the new online safety regulations. It feels like a big step back, especially for those who love sharing memes and images. On the bright side, directly uploading images to posts and using GIFs from the editor still work, so at least there are alternatives to keep the creativity flowing. How are others adjusting to this change? Any new platforms or tools you're finding useful?
