I just deleted my account with Flickr because they censored my protest-art (you can see if on my blog). They claimed I was harassing and abusing other members by having it posted.
My protest-art has the words "Summertownsun sucks". I put this artwork up in protest of Summertownsun complaining that i was infringing on their copyrighted work. They said I was posting images that they own. So flickr removed the images. But the images are actually in the public domain. So I protested Summertownsun's actions by creating a piece of artwork and posting it on Flickr.
Then Flickr, in all its controlling, tightwad glory, removed that image too, and sent me an email which said, "
Hi dazzlecat, In joining Flickr, you agreed to abide by the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. Specifically, you must not abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other Flickr members . We've removed the content, "SummertownSun Publishing Sucks!", from your photostream. Please note that similar activity may result in the termination of your account without warning. Regards, Omar "
So what really happened here? Was I harassing anyone? NO! The simple fact is that Flickr censored my artwork because "someone" (I assume summertownsun) complained about it.
I sent out an email to all my contacts on Flickr letting them know I was deleting my account and why. Now I'm going to have to make another piece of protest-art called Flickr Sucks!
