Is imgur blocked because it is a "pornography website" or because it is a "social media website"?

imgur has featured a combination of social media features including accounts, commenting, tagging, upvotes, downvotes, and et cetera for a good number of years.

It hasn't been just a simple image-host for a long time.





Imgur is blocking itself to avoid any legal exposure from the UK's insane law.
