After the second week of censorship at Yahoo!'s Flickr, there is no end in sight. For more information you can go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/againstcensorship/discuss/ or http://acf.superfluence.com

@jbarnesphoto Flickr charges money?

I recently decided against them based on how just plain (needlessly) complex it is. Now I'm hearing all this crap, too? I think I made a wise decision to not use flickr!

George was fired from Flickr after defending it. She's a little like that guy in Roger and Me who defends GE's layoffs, then gets laid off.

Interesting tag search results for the Flickr co-Founders, Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake...take a look...

Hey - I'm from germany - so i might answer. There is NO law in germany which makes censorship legal. But there is a law which forbids it. After flickrs censorship there were reacations from the german government who said, that it's illegal to censor, but you have to potect the youth (Jugendschutzgesetz in Germany), but flickrs censorship has NOTHING to do with this and doesn't meet the requirements. The Problem was, that the german flickr team didn't speak german and understood nothing.

Flickr and censorship - weird, considering the amount of NSFW photos within!

[colleen3217]

I'll probably ask German friends about this later, but what aspect of German law makes censorship of websites legal? Can German gov. take action against this? What's going on?
