"The UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform's parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children's personal data."
Wish people wouldn't keep repeating this, imgur block the UK because they were caught with GDPR violations.
The fact their UK wide IP block came in around the same time as the online safety act is the only reason they can continue to quietly pretend it's the government's fault. Imgur is the reason you can't view imgur, it is not the UK Govt (this time)
