Flickr Hapus Akun Penentang Obama

Shepherd Johnson, seorang pengguna Flickr (Pro) beberapa waktu lalu memprotes tindakan Flickr yang menghapus akun Flickrnya secara sepihak, lengkap dengan 1200 foto yang telah diunggahnya. Johnson beberapa waktu sebelumnya meninggalkan komentar di beberapa foto di akun Flickr milik Gedung Putih, memprotes kebijakan Obama yang mengijinkan pemerintah AS untuk menekan penyebaran foto-foto penyiksaan. Johnson bahkan menyisipkan beberapa foto penyiksaan di dalam komentarnya tersebut (image embedding).

Tidak lama kemudian Flickr langsung menghapus akun Flickr Pro Shepherd Johnson dengan alasan Johnson melanggar ketentuan yang berlaku di Flickr. Berikut pernyataan lengkap dari pihak Flickr (sumber)

In accordance with Flickr's policy, we cannot disclose information to third parties concerning a member's account. However, in joining Flickr, all of our members agree to abide by our Community Guidelines. These guidelines require that all of our members be respectful of the community and flag content that may not be suitable for "safe" viewing. Our members have always done a great job of identifying inappropriate and offensive content on Flickr and bringing it to our attention. We encourage all members to continue to make Flickr a safe place to share photos and videos. Flickr is a very large community made up of many types of members from all over the world, and we respect the viewpoints and expressions of all of our members. In crafting the Community Guidelines, Flickr weighed the rights of the individual vs. the rights of the overall community, and built a system that would enable members to choose what they want to view. As with any community, online or off, there are members who may disregard the Community Guidelines. When this happens, Flickr may have to take action accordingly towards building a respectful community. For more information: http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne

Flickr ini memang sudah terkenal sangat sensitif dan tegas dalam mensensor bahkan menghapus foto-foto yang melanggar syaray dan ketentuan mereka, dan rupanya mereka juga tidak segan-segan untuk langsung menghapus akun pengguna, apalagi pengguna Pro (berbayar). Di satu sisi sangat disayangkan karena lagi-lagi kebebasan berpendapat justru ditekan, namun di sisi lain memang sudah ada batasan-batasan yang dibuat oleh Flickr dan ketegasan Flickr dalam hal ini memang mempertaruhkan reputasinya.
