There has been a remarkable development regarding Imgur, which was put into service in 2009 and has hosted perhaps billions of uploaded photos and videos since then. Updating the terms of use, the platform announced that some users will delete all the content they have uploaded to date. If you are actively using Imgur, you must meet the requirements that we will talk about shortly before 15 May 2023.
Until now, Imgur was a platform where all users could upload content, either paid or free. However, as of May 15, this situation will change. So much so that all the shares of users who have uploaded content to the platform without having an account will be deleted. All you can do is download a copy of all the content you have uploaded.
Obscene content will also be deleted
Deleting guest uploaded content is not the only decision made by Imgur. In the future, the platform will not allow obscene content containing nudity or pornography. All content that does not comply with the terms of use of the platform will be automatically deleted.
According to the official statement, users will need to take action before May 15. In this context; All content uploaded as a guest to date will need to be re-uploaded after creating an account. This tedious process can lead to the loss of millions of content on the platform.
The entire internet world could be affected
Since Imgur will delete all guest photos, images imported from Imgur and embedded in the website will also be deleted. Therefore, millions of images on thousands of websites can evaporate in an instant.
