Technically, you would be supposed to personally review every single image that someone uploads in order to prevent anything that violates copyright or that is CP or something. Obviously that is impossible to do unless you have sizeable full time staff. Shit, I never really thought of stuff like that. So there are people poring through millions of imgur images to make sure they are ToS friendly? Even ones that aren't shared and thus not flagged? I dont know what imgur does, but techically you are responsible for what people upload to your site.
