Flickr auto-filtering photos - Change your defaults!

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

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.
