  Yep, and very actively developed too.

  Whilst I disagree with some of their technical decisions, it's really good at what it does.

  This report is sad to read, and concerning that Mattermost are not communicating back to the community.

  Um, so? What am I missing here? You're in a public place with no expectation of privacy.

  Public streaming webcams have been a thing for three decades. There's even an entire Geocaching category where you must be captured to prove you were there.

  That's half the internet gone, then.

  UK isn’t Europe* anymore

  • European Union

  It's funny though, don't you think? None of the other European countries have been blocked, and they have the exactly same GDPR and child protection law that the ICO claims it is pursuing.

  I personally think that Imgur banned the UK for simple business reasons. We don't generate enough income for them to bother adhering to GDPR plus the OSA. As Europe presses ahead with similar censorship legislation I imagine it will ban them too, or any of those that do pursue it for GDPR breaches.

  This is fragmenting the internet is of course is bad for everyone.

  But... Hasn't imgur been SFW only for a while now?

  Maybe they got sent one of offcom's shitty letters and are kneejerking to prove a point. Bit poor there's been no statement from them before doing this.
