..the UK has blocked imgur? WHY?
I think it’s the other way around. UK passed an online “safety” act recently. Imgur don’t want the hassle of having to comply with it. I don’t blame them.
This isn't what happened. Imgur was being fined for collecting data of under 13s without parental consent and so decided to block the UK. I won't say the OSA didn't factor into this as I'm not privy to that information, but the main cause seems to be the fine under the Data Protection Act.
I thought that only applied to 18+ sites? Last I checked, it wasn't exactly like Imgur is overflowing with porn and gore or anything..
Other way round. Imgur blocked the UK because they were apparently collecting children's personal data without proper parental consent, so rather than comply with the law and/or pay a fine they decided to just block the UK.
because the uk has a dumbass prime minister who is literally just an ai
Compared to every PM post-Cameron, Starmer is relatively normal.
Compared to every competent PM however (not including Thatcher), Starmer should have put the labourer to #1, and combatted the media control of billionnaires, by forcing them to break up, and forcing social media to depict a more positive narrative of socialism.
First the finances must be under the control of labourers; then the media; then the rest must follow.
