Imgur website inaccessible in the UK?

[Slugsie]

Is anyone else from the UK able to access Imgur? If I try I just get:

If I enable my VPN (Adguard) I just get a blank page. Even linked/embedded images don't work. Considering how much Imgur is used as an image hosting site this might be a huge issue.

I've seen other people from the UK saying they're getting much the same issue. There is speculation that Imgur have disabled access from the UK as a result of the recent Online Safety Act, I've not been able to find an official statement from Imgur however.

Yes, it's down for me too even with my VPN disabled.

Fwiw, it is working fine here in Australia. Set my VPN to Great Britain and IMGUR is inaccessible.

That specific URL should work in the UK to give information to UK users

Well that's just great. Well done UK. 🤬

Odd that the Imgur app still seems to be at least partly working. For now.

It'll be the latest digital privacy law the UK enacted around July.

This is what happens when you give clueless people the ability to make such sweeping abilities...absolute muppets.
