That image (a non-pornographic, artistic nude) was shot and published by none other than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.appelbaum.net\/\">Jake Appelbaum<\/a>, whose work has been blogged here on BoingBoing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=site%3Aboingboing.net+appelbaum&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a\">many times<\/a>. &#8230;<br \/>\nOiwan &#8230; blames the photo-sharing site&#8217;s recently implemented content rating\/blocking system in part for the legal situation she now faces in Hong Kong. <br \/>\nJake believes the program, as implemented, amounts to censorship&#8230;<\/cite><\/p>\n<p>Jake explained the background at said <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2007\/07\/11\/hong_kong_the_flickr.html\">blogpost<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Think global, now the local trouble: I cannot look at the pictures of a person, whom I met personally sometime and who&#8217;s work I admire.

Well, ioerror indeed has photos available for me and I would be interested to see them. So, the social networking website flickr removed the social networking for me. But Gunnar, who sits in office in opposite of me, is not affected by the censorship, because he is Norwegian. <br \/>\n<b>My flickr account will expire tomorrow<\/b>, and I am so angry about this that I don&#8217;t plan continue it. But then you won&#8217;t see my sets and pictures anymore and, alas, out of anger nothing good can come.<\/p>\n<p>Any suggestions welcome, I could shutdown my flickr account and move to zooomr (well, maybe not, its a one-man-show) or to smugmug, I could make a new flickr account using a fake id from Norway, etc etc&#8230; whats the right thing to do?<\/p>\n<p>To be prepared, I already <a href=\"http:\/\/leobard.twoday.net\/stories\/4122767\/\">backed up my whole flickr account<\/a>, including all comments and tags of the photos in RDF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got victimized by flickr censorship.
