Comment on When a website tells you that you broke a rule, but doesn't tell you what the rule is.

I use a variety for different things. My point isn’t imgur specifically, but how these hidden rules exist on different sites.

They aren’t hidden. It was probably on the Terms of service somewhere. They are not legally binding, nobody reads them, but is the way the company runs anyway. They’re not a cloud service, they claim they are a social network for image hosting. So they have no duty of care with user’s personal data or privacy.

  The rule is essentially hidden if what I think are innocuous images contain a some image violating TOS. Which image? Which section of the TOS?

  I don’t recall making a legal complaint. Something can be legal but mildly infuriating.

    Nope, they showed you a thing that said they got to erase anything and everything you uploaded at their own discretion for any reason, and you clicked “I agree”.
    
    BTW, according to their TOS, they own everything you upload to their site
