Imgur will delete images not tied to accounts and remove explicit images on May 15th

This is not a wise business decision, but okay. First Archive.org has a pending lawsuit, and may be eradicated for good now this. It's on par with the burning of the Alexandria Library.

The changes in its Terms of Service will take effect on May 15th.

For years, Imgur has made sharing photos and GIFs on the internet as easy as uploading a file — you don't even need an account to use it. Now the website has announced a change to its Terms of Service that could potentially erase years of internet history. Starting on May 15th, Imgur will be deleting "old, unused, and inactive content" that's not tied to a user account, so plenty of images posted on random websites online could disappear overnight. In addition, the service will be removing "nudity, pornography and sexually explicit content" even if they were uploaded by someone with an account.

Imgur has long been the go-to service for people uploading explicit content meant for sharing on NSFW subreddits, since Reddit itself prohibits direct uploads of explicit images. Back in 2019, the photo-sharing website stopped displaying NSFW Imgur subsections associated with subreddits. However, it didn't delete any images and still allowed users to upload pornographic content, as long as they choose the "hidden" privacy status. Apparently, this has caused confusion and frustration on what is and isn't allowed on the hosting service. By banning explicit images completely, Imgur said it could address the risks they pose to its business and protect the company's future.

The website will use automated detection alongside human moderators to find content to be deleted under the new rules. It will not be issuing warnings or suspensions for automated flags, but it will warn users if they try to upload anything that violates its updated Terms of Service. "Artistic nudity" is still allowed under the new rules, but they might get flagged by the website's automated detection tool that's still being calibrated. Bottom line is that, those who want to save viral images and other pieces of internet history may want to download them before they disappear. And those using Imgur to post photos on /r/gonewild may want to find an alternative service soon.

This, 100% imo.

From the looks of it, Imgur runs on VC money. With the recession, VC's want companies to be net positive (or at least net neutral). I have a feeling they were bleeding money.

A lot of these leftist sites have “hidden” spaces and methods, sometimes being invite only, other times they have DM like tools.

Right now, almost every leftist site being used for photos is a potential hub for it. If you see leftist propaganda dominating, you will also have a much larger number of predators seeking out these vulnerable individuals, as well as these leftist youth turning a blind eye to blatant evil.

Leftism and peedos go hand in hand, since they are fundamentally grounded in the exploitation of the youth And their biggest weaknesses; identity and sexuality.

This will make posts all over the internet disappear and not make sense anymore.

There's also a push to remove some of our national libraries and make them digital. And if you've been paying attention, they remove books or alter articles all the time, meaning history is being erased.

Social media, and especially YouTube's censorship is a way to kill their brands on purpose to cut down on uploads and content, and also force the approved narrative.

Reddit is going to charge for their API soon, which means less public oversight on how they're doing things which will result in more bots and no oversight. The site is already terrible unless you visit apolitical subs or if you can find a niche sub.

Twitter is the only big one going in the right direction. Rumble and Bitchute are supposedly good. Look for image alternatives.

There's a huge push to remove content from achive sites in general.

But the writing on the wall is here anyway, history is being altered and searches scrubbed and blacklisted/whitelisted for the approved narrative.

If you want to preserve history, save your content, back it up on personal storage, buy physical books when you can, and teach others, and in the online space, seek alternatives and be aware your content can be removed for any reason at any time.

The memory hole is real. And I think it moves more quickly than it did before as I've found articles and videos missing which I know I read/saw which weren't from that far back.

This is why I started buying books couple years ago. I have lots of history, economic, physics, and medical, and historical propaganda books, knowing that these are the kinds of books that could be eventually banned.

I've tried to show people articles or videos from a few years back and if they're controversial they're either gone or blacklisted from search and really hard to find. Considering people's attention spans these days, it's almost like losing a sale if you can't find things quickly sometimes.

If something is important, it's best to save on local storage rather than just bookmark, archive, or uploading it the cloud.

Imgur front page might as well be reddit. Bunch of slack jaw *******s constantly crying about Trump or any republican that goes against their tranny boyfriends.


Can't look at any image that might be funny without some echo chamber crying about Trump. I have images there but the site is nothing but cringe. Wish I could neg them all day. Fkn fggts

They need to do what Wikipedia does every year and start requesting donations.



There is still time for this issue to be rectified before millions of images are lost. They need to start mass emailing account holders requesting donations, word of mouth needs to spread across various social media platforms, and then they can attract crowd funding.

A judge sided with publishers in a lawsuit over the Internet Archive's online library​



A federal judge has ruled in favor of a group of book publishers who sued the nonprofit Internet Archive in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic for scanning and lending digital copies of copyrighted books.

The four publishing houses — Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, John Wiley & Sons and Penguin Random House — accused the Internet Archive of "mass copyright infringement" for loaning out digital copies of books without compensation or permission from the publishers.

Though libraries typically license e-books from publishers, the Internet Archive said it practiced "controlled digital lending," which argues that entities that own physical copies of books can lend out scanned versions.

The Internet Archive, which strives to provide "universal access to all knowledge," said its online library is legal under the doctrine of fair use.

But on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge John G. Koeltl of the Southern District of New York sided with the publishers, saying established law was on their side.

"At bottom, IA's fair use defense rests on the notion that lawfully acquiring a copyrighted print book entitles the recipient to make an unauthorized copy and distribute it in place of the print book, so long as it does not simultaneously lend the print book," Koeltl said in his opinion.

"But no case or legal principle supports that notion. Every authority points the other direction."

Koeltl noted that the Internet Archive can still scan and publish copies of books that are in the public domain.

Archive.org worries me. I'm on there daily reading books that are often tough to get unless I get them used off ebay.

Imgur could 404 now and I couldn't care less. The only exeption would be misc chops going the way of Tinypic.
