I guess you'll have to take my word for it if you're not in the UK

HTTP 400 - Content not available in your region

Direct image links/embeds are being substituted with an image that says "content not viewable in your region".


HTTP 451 might be more specifically correct here.

I’ve noticed this is becoming more common and the right use of this status code


I’m in the uK and confirm - it’s blocked


Imgur isn't big enough to make a difference since Reddit and others compiled. KFarms also refused the UK obviously. What's going on there is an authoritarian nightmare. People being sentenced to years in prison over posts and comments.
