Imgur bailed on the UK. One more site to add to my proxy redirect list...starting to get wild how fragmented the internet is becoming
It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. If all the copyright claims and new content policy are coming from country "A", just block country "A" from accessing your sites. I mean it's not good for the users, but who gives a f**k about them anyway?
I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.
So Imgur’s big daddy, MediaLab, is being investigated by the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (whatever that is). They want to fine MediaLab for some reason, so Imgur is making the people suffer so they get their government to "not" charge MediaLab?
MediaLab can still be charged by UK's ICO for past offences.
User data is still on Imgur, not deleted by default.
And this block happened overnight.
Seems like how a certain group of people tried to ban TikTok and backed off when they got money?

haha
Isn't that how it always happens? You get into your project with a basic idea, then you iterate on it till you lose the objective and keep iterating on it and then stop and realize your project is no longer what you envisioned...

Oh fuck, that hit me like a shovel. When I think about it, every project or business I've ever ran started out as something completely different.

If you don't do age verification in the UK the UK government can "fine" you because of recently introduced Online Safety Act. Even if you don't have any presence in the UK. They are literally trying to go after 4Chan - IMO they are highly unlikely to be successful because you can't apply domestic law to foreign individuals/companies.
However, until that matter is settled in court, the options at the moment appear to be:
1. Verify every users' identity to the satisfaction of the UK government and risk the fallout when your customer's personal data is inevitably breached
2. Block access to everyone in the UK until we complain enough to get the law changed

Currently using Postimages. Looking for something similar, preferably one that can be used without logging... Something like upload, link and forget.

Btw, read the news on https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/01/imgur_exits_uk/
Let me get this straight...

Hello my name is @somik and I am an image host addict.
The Yeti has left the building.
haha
I could not find a ImageHostAddictAnonymous anywhere, so it's fine. In 2025 they still dont consider it to be a serious addiction

Looks like the following hosts have removed the test images...
Moreover, PixShare.de & ImgShare.pl adds ugly watermarks...
Did you test ImgCDN.dev in anonymous mode or logged in? Anon has 2 weeks limit.
Annon. All except imgBB are uploaded annon.
Did not realize ImgCDN.dev had a 2 week limit. Thanks for letting me know

Good times in the pro-growth United Kingdom!

use https://iimg.live I'm using that
Great! Now go ahead and try the rest of the 100 mirrors
Eh, what?
Did you know you still can use imageperl to upload to iimg.live ?
Also welcome back!
I am using it, through imageperl
Did you not get banned twice already?
Yes i know and i allow that 😎
Great!
🥲
Depends on your point of view. ;-)

Lol, ok! I kept it thinking you want to test if your bot blocker is working or not. DM me if you want me to remove it from imageperl
@vyas's point of view
@Not_Oles to clearify, I meant you should try the image "hosts" you can upload to using imageperl:
Gosh! I’ve been exposed

It's ok, I am sure you are just looking for @AuroraZero
Oh I am here I am never not no here. Right now I am investigating and will have a solution soon.
The Yeti has left the building.
@somik Thank you for clearifying!
Always best wishes! 
Is that @Not_Oles? You have been quiet lately man what is new?
The Yeti has left the building.

Long time ago imagehack.us and photobucket was the best solution for me.

imagehack.us looks weird... did you mean imageshack?
