Easier to just geoblock UK users than comply....

I saw this on a another forum this morning. As they couldn't even bother to give us any warning and, I only using it for hosting pictures for forums, I used Opera's free VPN and closed and deleted my account.

Other free image hosting options are available, although it's hard to know which might be reliable.

It is the ICO that was going after them under the 2018 Data Protection Act. The OSA is Ofcom's responsibility.
