"The English Wikipedia formally deprecated the use of The Grayzone as a source for facts in its articles in March 2020, citing issues with the website's factual reliability.[4][22] "
And after reading the wikipedia article, no wonder wikipedia has problems with accepting Grayzone as a source.
Britain has a greater investment in the creation of the Israeli state than possibly any other Western nation, so of course they're going to suppress anything negative about it.
The only reason I constantly roll my eyes at "news" like this, is that they try so hard to appear to have the moral high ground, yet it's always about Israel. I haven't seen any of these folks say anything or do anything for Syria who bombed their own citizens, or Iran who slaughters their protestors. It's always hyperfocus on "Israel bad." -- which might as well be true, but the fucking hyperboly. Auschwitz? Really? No bias or sensationalization there?
And the current party in power was supposed to be the more left-leaning one. I'm still utterly baffled by how hard Labour shat their keks here; first time in power after 14 years of conservative Tory rule and this is how they play it.
I just can't imagine what the plan ahead is. Like, are they banking on enough Tory voters looking at the current state of Labour and going "I guess these people DO have my bigoted interests at heart after all! They have my vote!" or are they relying on enough Labour voters thinking "At least they're not as bad as the Tories/Reform!" They HAVE to know that most of the people, who voted for them last time feel like they've been had...
Or maybe not. Maybe they truly are as stupid as it seems.
Aye, that seems about right. On an unrelated note, I can't help but notice that I've been replied to by both @RonnieSoak and @PonderStibbons2. Waiting for C.M.O.T. Dibbler to make an appearance any time now ;)
@PonderStibbons is my original account but it's permanently banned from posting, comments and DMs because of the stupid community rules that I barely bent, can't chat with a human so just go round in circles with the AI. I still have Emerald and an extensive Fav's section that I can still add to do I still use that account unless I really feel the need to comment.

Yes, it is real. Just discovered this myself. But then I remembered that the Brave browser has a private mode with an in-built Tor... and here I am, wasting my time on Ingur!

I agree. I can remember personal websites were part of pools. You could hit "next" or "random" at the bottom of a page and it was like a surprise grab bag of what might come up.

androidshard
They really don't. Like, you can look at uk news sources and it's not suppressed.
darkchiron
I believe this is due to them making it illegal to either be nice to Palestine or mean to Israel.
androidshard
Neither of those is illegal here in the uk.

Thank god for the Grayzone.

Too bad imgur is blocked in the UK because the UK wants to control what is seen there too.
Spread the news!

It's blocked because imgur were in trouble for not following the rules about the data children on their site and imgur choose to block the uk instead of facing other consequences like a fine.

The UK has been slipping towards being a police state for decades.
chukyrlaw
Did not know that! Wow

Some of us from the UK still manage to squeeze between the gaps by using a VPN. Using the Imgur website as backup to the app also helps.
PonderStibbons2
Proton VPN has split tunneling so only the Imgur app on my phone is using it, thinks I'm in Canada because the app is super slow now in European countries. Fuck you Business Daddy.}
TheVillageGrouch9000
Pretty awful, had no idea. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo Any other sites being looked at / targeted?
androidshard
Nope, because the block is imgur's doing, not the uk. The uk does not block imgur; imgur blocks the uk.
Krustation137
I'm still here, can't believe I'm paying for a VPN for imgur.
RonnieSoak
Im paying for a VPN for other.... reasons.. imgur and porn just happened to also end up included š¤£
TheVillageGrouch9000
VPNs are quite useful. You are best using one.

Is that real? Like Iām really asking.
VenusianTreen
Yes, it is real. Just discovered this myself.
But then I remembered that the Brave browser has a private mode with an in-built Tor... and here I am, wasting my time on Ingur!

Sort of, it has to do with the new laws about minors using social media,Imgur doesn't implement age verification some it's blocked.
slinkiisu
I have to use a VPN. Hi, I'm in the UK, if my VPN turns off I can't see imgur.
Gargwill
I think you mean you're in the Netherlands, right?

Imgur is blocked in the UK. By Imgur. It's blocked by Imgur.
WeAreFriendsNow
It is blocked though because of UK law:

Its blocked because they can't guarantee you won't see boobies and therefore completely restricts access, unlike reddit for example that just cuts access to anything with an NFSW tag.
