I wouldn't support this outright. It being timed ahead of the upcoming election seems sketchy.

They want to remove all image host after a certain amount of time. To much information in one place

This is a good nugget:

Thorny issue

Apparently aware of the potential problem, Imgur had teamed up with Thorn, a non-profit founded by actor Ashton Kutcher to combat sexual abuse of children online by removing offending content from the internet.

An official spokesman for Imgur confirms that the company was working with Thorn since 2013 – and beta-testing Safer recently – but denies this was “a means of helping to control indecent images on our platform.”

Instead, the spokesperson said, it is “a proactive measure to prevent that kind of content from ever being uploaded to our platform (and more broadly, to the internet at large).”by removing offending content from the internet.

So are we to believe that Thorn gets the images first and blocks (keeps them for?) offending images so the public never sees them but somehow they got through? What does this say about Thorn and the “agreement” or even about Thorn’s core service? And seriously, how does it help stop trafficking? Thorn doesn’t come out smelling like a rose and who the f*** names a company thorn? Lots of f***ery going on.

Internet is a PUBLIC UTILITY (like phone) and SHOULD be REGULATED as such by government. NOT tech providers.

Imgur is/was popular (remember that Reddit used them before they had their own hosting), lots of libs spewing bullshit and degeneracy, gotta set them straight.

That's before I stopped giving a fuck.
