The image-hosting platform - which is widely used to make memes - was facing a fine over its use of children's data.

Image-hosting platform Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content.

Imgur is used by millions to make and share images such as memes across the web, particularly on Reddit and in online forums.

But UK users trying to access Imgur on Tuesday were met with an error message saying “content not available in your region” - with Imgur content shared on other websites also no longer showing.

The UK’s data watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform’s parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children’s personal data.

    When ai and robots can do.all the labor and the bunkers are already built, what is the purpose of an economy?

    And what then is the purpose of the masses?

    We were always chattel.

    And soon, like livestock.
