  • I’m not convinced this is the reason for the Imgur block. They were asked by the UK about how they processed the data for minors at the start of the year. They refused to provide it, and were then fined. When the age check was implemented I think they used that as an excuse to block the UK, so they “weren’t operating in it” and didn’t need to answer the questions.

    The UK gov disagrees with that and is planning more legal action iirc.

    If they had done the block without that law, people would be asking why they were not revealing how they process data of minors.








  • Probably unrelated, domain spoofing is common, but miss-configured mail servers will accept those emails and process auto replies. They can also abuse input forms to try and send out emails, but that typically does not have much control over content.

    If you are getting more emails than you can deal with, than can be used to try and mask other emails by burying them in a large email volume. In that case you should be looking for emails from important accounts you do own (eg banking.)
