Hi JJJ, and welcome --

I looked at all of those links and found nothing even vaguely resembling child pornography. I did find a lot of parody, but nothing even close to the real deal, or at least, what I would imagine the real deal to be.

my photo was linked among others that you claimed to depict "nude children"
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonfeinstein/94689...

this is a photo of a blowup doll wearing a dress jacket. It's supposed to be funny and idiosyncratic. If you have an argument make sure the photos are directly relevant.

thx

J --

When you said you posted them it occurred to me that the spam filtering software I use might have caught them -- which it did. (Usually posts with this many links in them are spam...).

It's there now.

I think the photos speak for themselves -- they're hardly pornography. On the other hand, if I were tagging I wouldn't have tagged them with those terms, even if they're truly descriptive. It still doesn't justify banning flickr.

12-8-2006: I've placed the comments with links to the photos in question in the "moderated bucket" because they are attracting far too much spam. Thanks.

......oh.

I posted them somewhere. Hold on, I'll find them again. It's not really anything SEXUAL, and I agree with that. There weren't any other posts on here that I posted to?

Crap. I knew I shouldn't use IE again.

Ok, anyway, no, not many of them were sexual (unless you're into seeing naked kids), but then again, I didn't sign up for Flickr...I just did a search.

Actually, I'll just bookmark this page and I'll look again if you want. I found quite a few of "nude children" on Flickr. I think that's what they're going after, and calling it "child pornography", because of the fact that it's kids and they're not wearing clothes.

Anyway, on the subject of the OTHER thread I was posting to, I'm not trying to come off as an angry bastard or anything.

And as for the one on here, I could have SWORN I posted those links. Bah...

J, I haven't ever had any links on this blog to photos of nude children. As my post implies, I couldn't find any. Certainly none that were in any way sexual -- perhaps a photo of a two-year old playing in the pool but I hardly consider that pornographic.

This post has not been edited since it was posted, so I'm at a loss to know what you're talking about.

Thanks, Donna! It was a very cool idea on their part.

This is pretty outrageous. I don't know if I've ever seen a site that's as responsible as Flickr.

On the other hand, congrats on your seconds of fame!
