imgur bans UK and it may affect your bio

[droopla]

imgur , an image hosting service, blocked all access from the UK.
If you have images from imgurl in your bio they may not be visible anymore.

Some technical explanation ...
If you have an image in your bio CB copies that image to their own sever.
The image you see is the image as saved by CB.

CB seems to have servers in the UK and if that server wants to copy your image from imgur
that site says , nono , you're British and you won't get it.

I don't know if all CB servers for this purpose are in the UK but some bio's are already affected.

when CBs image proxy connects to my site its always a cloudflare IP and i was able to confirm one of the cloudflare IPs is listed as being from united kingdom...well technically half the ip location databases say its united kingdom the other half usa

I looked this up a little bit. It seems like they've been seen as non compliant with this new online safety act thing so they opted to just remove themselves for UK users entirely.

That makes sense , the images go on and off.

Does someone know an other good image host ?
(in the past i used google drive but they blocked linking from chaturbate)
