I am based in the UK, but I am seeing this message in a purple box on some of the posts.

What’s it all about?

It’s very frustrating to read a post and not be able to see the photo been referred to.

Is their a way round this?

Thanks

Image-hosting platform Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content.

Imgur is used by millions to make and share images such as memes across the web, particularly on Reddit and in online forums.

But UK users trying to access Imgur on Tuesday were met with an error message saying "content not available in your region" - with Imgur content shared on other websites also no longer showing.

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.

Apparently using a VPN can overcome it, but may present other issues here.
 
Yes I agree it's most annoying, Unfortunately a lot of my posts contain that message as I used Imgur to host my images at the time.

Imgur is blocked to users accessing from the UK because of the pr0n they host.
