View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
They did lose a lawsuit with Getty images that forced them to change how they served up images. I wonder if this is at all related to that.

"no" (I put that in quotations because I'm not sure), I believe that had to do with their "show this image" feature that they removed, which would in bypass the website and just going directly to displaying only the image in question. Obviously hosts of media don't like all their content and message being circumvented— sometimes potentially for even more than just selfish reasons (ex. "this image is doctored/fake")
