Against Censorship at Flickr

Flickr has introduced a new filter system. It is meant in a good way but it restricts countries to their local Terms of use which is discriminating. Flickr users in England have more rights than users from Germany and Korea.

“If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service.”

These countries are in it for now - who knows where it will spread next.

If you are a Flickr user you can join the “Against Censorship at Flickr” group to show Flickr that they are heading in the wrong direction.
