I'm probably alone in thinking this is ok. According to the statement by the ICO reported by the BBC, this is because imgur has refused to implement some kind of technical verification of users being served pornography or suicide promotion.

Requiring this is not a bad thing

Governments/Regulation is the only tool at our disposal

How else should we approach this problem? Do we just throw our hands in the air? Or do we think that serving pornography and suicide promotion is not something that requires oversight?

The (a?) problem is that only the largest / most profitable players can afford to implement these systems. So while well intentioned they just shut out any company/service without loads of extra cash
