Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now

it would probe whether the companies were complying with both the UK’s data protection laws, and the children’s code

So it was for legal reasons. Wow, such surprise.

Just do some research dude

Could you not tell that I wasn’t seriously questioning what the infringements were, and was poking fun at your comment that it wasn’t for legal reasons?

Nobody forced them to quit the UK. What legal reasons?

  Imgur hosts pictures of naked people. Pictures of naked people are illegal to send to the UK. How is that not a law saying Imgur can’t operate in the UK?
