flickr are making asses of themselves again

After proclaiming how clever they were rolling out multi-lingual flickr there came a little twist in the tail...

"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 so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off. In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flagged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for germans ..."


you've all been *very* naughty

The next sting is that from now on if you want to pay for Flickr pro - you'll have to sign up with yahoo! Wallet. No more paypal payments accepted - so if you haven't got a credit card.... forget it.

I don't like Yahoo - they creep me out.
