Flickr Censorship Debate Rages On

Yesterday Flickr co-founder Stuart Butterfield offered an explanation and apology regarding the recent dustup at Flickr. But Thomas Hawk [CEO of Zooomr] isn’t ready to let this one die…

“The sad thing about this whole affair is that while Flickr claims to care about censorship, many of us are being censored there. What's more, Flickr has promised to take steps to ensure what happened to Rebekka doesn't happen again and yet still refuses to outline what those steps exactly will be.

Perhaps most ironic of all, is that the thread dealing with this entire messy matter for Flickr on censorship has now been locked by Flickr staff. Convenient.”
