I’ve noticed only today that a few illustration based pictures have crept into the ‘explore the last 7 days’ pages. I’m hoping this is because they’ve had a last minute change of heart after realising how stupid they were being, but they’re being so sneaky and underhanded these days -there’s no way to be sure. This whole NIPSA thing is obviously their way of stagmatising people and work they don’t approve of. It smacks of high school kid’s passive-aggressive bullying to me.
This whole issue has really put me off flickr, and to think there’s all this fuss about the whole site being blocked in the UAE… it wouldn’t hurt them to take a good hard look at themselves and at what could be seen as internal censorship.
