Image-hosting platform Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content.
Imgur is used by millions to make and share images such as memes across the web, particularly on Reddit and in online forums.
But UK users trying to access Imgur on Tuesday were met with an error message saying “content not available in your region” - with Imgur content shared on other websites also no longer showing.
The UK’s data watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform’s parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children’s personal data.
There’s at least 4 “original” versions out there:
Epstein himself had originals at his island, (confiscated at the time of the investigation). And most likely a backup at his manhattan offices (taken from the safe under suspicious circumstances by an unknown party after the “fbi” raid left the filled safe open overnight, the next day the safe was empty).
Gislaine Maxwell, as a fully involved assistant, had a (partial, non video?) copy somewhere, for safekeeping, unclear what happened to it.
Then there was a rumor Russia pressured Epstein into “selling” them a copy.
Epstein is documented to have traveled to Russia and met with government officials well before his evil empire came crashing down.
The thing is, most of these original files are used to keep the other owners in check, if any one releases them they compromise everyone on there by mutual destruction.
I suspect even if Russia, or whatever other state has them, would leak it all it would come back to burn them, if this was not the case it would have been out there publicly already.
