Imgur Access in the United Kingdom

Question: How does a company block access from an entire country? Is that done through DNS or IP range or something else?
keanb•42m ago
When you receive a request to your website (or any service), that request comes from an IP address. There are databases that can tell you what country an IP address is from. It's not perfect, but it works well enough 99.99% of the time. Then, if the country is blacklisted, you do not allow access.
HardwareLust•36m ago
So that could be defeated by a VPN?
keanb•30m ago
Of course.

Makes it seem almost pointless.
noir_lord•28m ago
Trivially which is why VPN's have boomed in the UK since this was brought in.

An entirely predictable result given how easy it is to install a VPN vs having to verify yourself constantly to sketchy third parties on every site that has adult content (note: adult meaning adult not pornography..a lot of non-porn adult stuff get caught in the net).

For now.

1. Driver's licenses are becoming a web standard soon. https://github.com/w3c-fedid/digital-credentials

Support was added just last week in Safari 26. https://digitalcredentials.dev

2. The UK is keeping a very close eye on VPNs. https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/could-vpn...

What's the backstory here?
noir_lord•1h ago
UK passed an insanely stupid and dangerous (as well as authoritarian) act called Online Safety Act.

It's essentially because of shitty parents allowing kids unsupervised access to the internet, rather than expecting parents to parent they pushed the cost/risk to companies.

Imgur decided they didn't want to foot the cost/risk and pulled out.

As a brit, I don't blame them, if I was US based I'd geoblock the UK as well.

Not least because it's the only way this will make enough of a stink for the gov to climb down.

gjsman-1000•52m ago
> because of shitty parents allowing kids unsupervised access to the internet

>90% of parents allow their kids unsupervised access to the internet. That's reality. We've spent the last 30 years begging them to supervise and it hasn't worked, so proposing to do it again is a nonstarter.

On the other hand, I completely get why. Expecting parents to know how to operate Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, ChatGPT, and school-issued devices is absurd, delusional, obviously never happening. CompTIA A+ Certification, for entry-level help desk work, requires learning about less platforms than what a parent faces. Even then, what about the computers that have minimal filtering at school libraries, or at friend's houses?

Denial of the kids on the internet as a problem, combined with unfair expectations on parents, is how we got here.

This is a shame, Imgur was a good source of fun. I understand what's the reason behind this decision, the current "implementation" of the Online Safety Act is the worst way to handle this problem. Unfortunately I can't see any way that can be reasonably implemented to check the age of the user.
daveoc64•42m ago
It's actually unclear what the cause of this is.

There is an ongoing ICO investigation about privacy and handling of children's data under data protection laws, rather than this being related to the Online Safety Act:

https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs...

The ICO has indicated it is planning to give a fine to the owner of Imgur due to breaches of data protection laws.
