Imgur will ban mature content and start deleting all content

In an action that makes it clear that Imgur learned nothing from what happened to Tumblr, image hosting company has announced that As of May 15, content for adults will be prohibited, something that will be retroactive, thus changing the approach of the image upload service used by all of Reddit, among other portals.

However, this has also been used as an excuse to delete all content that the company considers old, unused, and inactive, as well as content that is not related to a specific user accountso that we will see how many forums will run out of images, as was the case at the time with ImageShack.

The company indicates that users who want to keep the content affected by this change in the Imgur rules will have to download it on their own.something dangerous, since it puts on the users the responsibility of the conservation of the images of hundreds of forums, that can be part of any number of tutorials or data archiving efforts.

Without a doubt, we will have to see how this affects Imgur, but when Tumblr did something similar, the company’s value dropped 99.7%.
