Imgur sells user data including age profiling and includes all the children in the data set. That's what the UK ICO is threatening them with a fine for. I don't have a problem with that fine.

They could have put a very very very simple filter on the user data they're selling to advertisers, but they reacted by throwing their toys out of the pram.

Imgur are shitty. And they deleted a tranche of of stuff for people who don't have a subscription. We know the process of enshittification, and we perpetuate it by not jumping ship whenever a big player starts. That time is now for imgur.

There are other image hosting platforms, and you can upload directly to your instance.
