Image site Imgur blocks access to UK users after regulator warned of fine
Published: 9/30/2025
Imgur blocks UK users amid threat of fine from watchdog. Image-hosting platform Imgur has restricted access for UK users, citing compliance concerns related to age verification and children's personal data use. The move follows an investigation by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which has issued a notice of intent to fine Imgur's parent company, MediaLab AI. As of September 30, 2025, UK users can no longer log in, view content, or upload images on Imgur, impacting its presence on third-party websites.
