Thought you might like to know. No more overt censorship-related messaging, just the odd subtle one.

It's always easier to erase the traces of a protest than it is to fix what the protest is about...

Yep - we started getting complaints from people who actually want to see photographs and since that's what the feature is for, we've removed things that aren't photos. This is a return what we normally do, by the way: we temporarily stopped so people could let off steam, but it's not fair to disrupt others' experience of Flickr to get a point across.

Plainly, not all "traces" of the protest are gone. Your own streams are fair game (and, e.g., I'm happy to leave people's protest pics in comments on my stream), plenty of groups have been created, there's plenty of mainstream press and blogging going on, and there is an intensely active thread in these very forums, which is covering this same topic, starting at this point in the thread.
