Imgur blocks UK access after ICO signals possible fine
🔒 Imgur has geoblocked access for users in the United Kingdom after the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) issued a notice of intent on 10 September 2025 to impose a monetary penalty on Imgur's parent, MediaLab, over age-verification and children's data protections under the Online Safety Act. From 30 September 2025 UK visitors cannot log in, view, upload, or see embedded Imgur content on third-party sites. The ICO cautioned that blocking UK traffic does not absolve the company of potential fines while MediaLab may make representations.
