Medialabs is pissing off the users at Imgur (imgur.com)

Medialabs didn't like the segment that John Oliver did on them and started taking down images that referenced it. Claiming TOS violations. Many users are posting a screen shot of the segment and telling Imgur to "fuck off". There are also a few bluesky users tying to get John Oliver's team to take notice and rip Medialabs a new one again.

When are businesses going to learn about the Streisand effect? The more you try to hide something on the internet, the more it surfaces.

Also note how much of this is censorship strictu sensu. It's an entity with power to dictate what you can/can't say on a platform, silencing criticism in that platform. (Or at least trying to. Eh.)

For people who want other image hosting services: catbox.moe is a good option IMO.
