4 Feb 2026 MediaLab.AI, Inc.ICO: £247,590 fine for Imgur operator MediaLab over children's data without age checks United KingdomData protection €287,361

The ICO fined MediaLab.AI, Inc., which operated the Imgur platform in the UK until 30 September 2025, £247,590. The ICO found that Imgur admitted children under 13, stated to be under parental supervision, and relied on consent as its lawful basis, but it had no way of establishing users' ages and therefore of obtaining the required parental consent. The ICO therefore found there was no valid lawful basis and also found that no data protection impact assessment had been carried out (Articles 5(1)(a), 6, 8 and 35 UK GDPR).
