RIP Imgur
This online safety bill bollocks is starting to annoy me. Why can’t parents look after their own bloody kids?
I’d ask if there’s an alternative hosting site but at this point it seems to be only a matter of time until that gets blocked too.

Meh. I got banned from Imgur ages ago for something or other. Can't say I've missed it.
I use ImgBB or my local NAS for all my image hosting now.

I don’t really want to run a web server just to share an imagine every few months.
ImgBB still seems to work for now.

It's the collateral damage that'll hurt. You may not host stuff there, but a lot of other sites do and now you can't see it.
Unless you get a VPN or something.
Until the government bans those.

Are there really that many sites using Imgur as their primary image host?

It's still quite common on forums
without their own image uploader.

You want your kids to be safe online?
Don’t give them a fucking smartphone with no parental controls.

Have you tried using TOR to get round the bollocks?
I just fired it up and Imgur didn't care. It thought I was somewhere else, not the UK. Then the UK can have as many pointless laws as they want, and you don't have to deal with them.
If you are the sort of person who has the inclination for other sites, you can access naked ladies and torrent downloads via TOR as well without being bothered by the bollocks...
Although, I did just try and post an image here and it wouldn't have any of it

I may end up using a VPN
Is tor not slow as shit any more?

Seems fine to me
about 50% of the speed of firefox, but Imgur wasn't happy about showing images here on /links.
Is B3TA hosted in the UK?

Apparently.
Perhaps some of your exit nodes are in the UK.

Imgur worked fine
but when I posted the image link as an image, it said it was region restricted.
