Hopefully many more companies do this and British internet users migrate to use of VPNs. This will apply maximum pressure on the government to reverse these parochial laws.

Whatever the annual revenue of imgur was is now up for grabs for any British entrepreneur willing to build an image hosting site and unless British people have an innate preference for exporting their data to the US they'll likely stick with that. In other words, it's a good opportunity for the domestic tech sector, that's what happens in most cases when foreign companies tend to be blocked.

Yeah let us find random ways, that we never used to care about, to ban all foreign websites so a "brit" can take over haha. This is quite authoritarian and corporatist and worthy of some criticism from more libertarian minded onlookers.
