Flickr auto-filtering photos – Change your defaults!

Go here to take the bogus parental controls off your Flickr account. I just found out that Flickr automatically turns some sort of “Safe Search” on for all users, requiring you to opt-in to things like screenshots, art, illustration, CGI and other non-photographic images, and yes, some nudity.

I personally like to decide for myself what I see, and feel that there should be one of those AJAX messages on your homepage that says your photo searching/viewing capabilities are being limited. Because I apparently wasn’t getting the full scope of Flickr’s search capabilities and that is L-A-M-E.
