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?

While this is a very real concern; I can't help but think it's over exaggerated? Kids will always find ways around blocks. I know, I too was once a child.

They're already using Google Docs as a chat application in class when social media is blocked. So what are we really trying to do here? Much like prohibition, I suspect we'll see the masses annoyed and inconvenienced, and those who want to find alcohol finding it regardless.

Sometimes I miss the old flash, irc, html tables for layouts internet.
