“We have been clear that exiting the UK does not allow an organisation to avoid responsibility for any prior infringement of data protection law”.
They are not going to avoid paying the fines for previous infringements anyway, so it’s not really a financial decision, unless they’re just being stupid.
I find it strange that Imgur did not provide any reason for the withdrawal themselves, which is probably because they are trying to hide something, which can’t be good.
“The ICO launched its investigation into Imgur in March - saying it would probe whether the companies were complying with both the UK’s data protection laws, and the children’s code.”.
Just do some research dude

They are trying to avoid paying fines for earlier infringements, unrelated to the recent age checks.
"both the ICO and Ofcom - the media regulator enforcing the Online Safety Act - said Imgur suspending access for UK users had been its own “commercial decision”
They’re just trying to avoid getting fined by the UK.
It’s not due to legal reasons though. They just decided to exit UK, because they’re trying to avoid paying fines for previous infringements.

I like to sleep on hard floors, like an animal.
Great, more billionaires making decisions about what’s best for the common folk.

There was a gas shortage last year in the UK for a couple of weeks. Does it mean its economy collapsed for a couple of weeks?
I really wish that what you are saying was true. But the reality looks different to me.
Uhm 👀
Where did I make it generational? Exactly?
Again, it’s an age thing, not a generational thing.
Let me explain it for you better.
When the gen z grows up they will still be generation z, but they will be older and smarter. Gen z is not going to stay under 16 forever.
When generation z grows up, there will be a next generation abc or whatever, that will be the new under 16s.
And so it has absolutely nothing to do with being generation x, y or z.
Does that make more sense?
If not go back to school.
Also, thanks for proving my point that most kids are stupid and have nothing to contribute to serious conversations.
Haha, such a clever comeback. Good one! Going down the stairs now.
Tell me now, how exactly did I describe those under 16s? Because I didn’t.
Thanks for proving my point.
Now, go back to school and learn some reading comprehension.
Haha, but I’m still here!
Yes please, then I will have the satisfaction of slamming the doors in front of your face. And I can’t do that to stupid comments!
This is NOT a generational thing. Kids and teenagers ALWAYS were and ALWAYS will be the most stupid age group, with zero life experience and nothing to add to any conversation other than some stupid jokes.
Why do kids like you always have to make things generational??
Stop acting smart, go back to school, get some life experience and then come back to share it. All the best ❤️
Feel free to use them offline, like in the good old days
Go back to school kid
Nobody forced them to quit the UK, there are no laws saying they can’t operate in the UK. So what legal reasons?
