Lots of the top comments talking about how Imgur can stay out of the UK more easily and not about how Imgur can comply with the law and protect children's data.

Why is it always that regulation is the problem, not the company being irresponsible with data.

What do you mean by "children's data"? What data? Suppose I'm 11, I'm not registered at Imgur, and I'm only browsing, what sort of vulnerable data they have to protect? Browser's user agent, IP address, screen resolution? Even if I'm registered, it's rather unlikely I will provide all my real details.

The "children's safety" argument is for voters who are technologically illiterate and don't have a tiniest idea how the internet works.
