IMGUR is banning porn

[Thompsone]

Thank you imgur for all the dead links that will now be across the internet.


"Image hosting platform Imgur is set to ban explicit images on its platform from May 15. The company updated its terms of service and said that the company will focus on removing “nudity, pornography, & sexually explicit content” from the site later this month.

The Medialab-owned company said that explicit content formed a risk to Imgur’s “community and its business” and disallowing such stuff will “protect the future of the Imgur community.”

The image hosting platform said that it will still allow artistic nudity but as it is switching to a mix of automatic and human moderation, there might be issues in uploading certain content."

seems like someone or some group is attempting to clean up the internet a few sites at a time...

So many sites will now have broken images what a shame for those sites.

People need to take their business seriously and not look to save a few nickels on free image hosts.

My understanding business people are not using IMGUR as a very large percentage of their users. Just people sharing images, like on reddit.

Bots mostly too. which I guess is someone's business.

Not all the end users who will have lost their images

They will regret this porn ban, people will move on to another free site.
