I got this when I tried to view a photo from Michael's Flickr stream of the Fremont Solstice Parade.
To my f***ing surprise, I don't even have the option to click here if you are above xx age which you can find in most other sites that might have adult content. Not here in Flickr. Just a Take Me Home link. God damn it!
Looking at the FAQ - I see this:
.bq If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, 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.
Since when adults from Singapore need to be told what we can or cannot see? Yahoo SG need not have such blanket ban on photos that probably show less skin than what we see on magazines and on TV nowadays.
I understand the need to have some control, but not to this extend! At least give the option for people to choose what they want to see and NOT deny us the choice.
Being a paid member of Flickr, I would not want to cancel my membership since I probably will not get any refund out of this. But once it is due, I seriously will reconsider renewing if the censorship remains.
Does anyone knows how to circumvent this censorship?
update - I went to register another Yahoo account based in US and relink it to that account and things are back to normal. Crap.
