I tried logging into Imgur recently, but they now block all UK traffic and redirect you to a GDPR deletion form, which I was happy to fill in. Note that I was responding from the email registered to my account, and even though they could verify it, they still demanded: A description of any private images (I cannot recall, it’s a 10+ year old account I barely used) My last login location (no idea either as it was probably years ago. Was I on VPN?) I made a real effort to answer, giving my best guesses for both, but their responses were consistently passive-aggressive, as if I was the one being unreasonable! And all that friction just for them to delete my email address and a couple of images that I may or may not have uploaded to Imgur over the last 10 years. After going back and forth, they left me no choice but to file an ICO complaint. Has anyone else experienced this with Imgur?

The only identifable information you should have to provide is the information you signed up with. I've had a couple sites ask for id, but that wouldnt verify I own the account anymore than just me sending them the email from the same address I used to sign up with. GDPR has a flaw iirc, where it allows this, I guess the UK version isnt any different.
