Flickr Installs Filters In Germany

1 Comment

Flickr In Germany

We saw on CNET that Flickr gave instructions on how to bypass filters in China. Why not do the same for Germany? Hope Yahoo won't decide to turn chinese users in later for taking their advice. Just seems a bit strange that they have such different approaches to these two areas as far as filtering goes. What of that content anyway, is it actually so adult oriented that we here in America should worry about our children too? David Pogue just called Flickr a great family oriented photo sharing site in the NY Times, and it says nothing on their front page about porn in there. What's up with that? If this whole thing is based on a lie about Flickr's true nature, then maybe these germans are really on to something. Either way, Flickr saying they just worry about their own people going to jail doesn't really say much about how they treat users. Then again, being that Yahoo still spies on everyone for the NSA, who are the real chumps in this sad story of censorware and porn? That filtering is so Yahoo can hide stuff for China in that dirty deal.
