CNN - Users Rage Against China's "Great Flickr Firewall"

BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- Yang Zhou is no cyberdissident, but recent curbs on his Web surfing habits by China's censors have him fomenting discontent about China's "Great Firewall."

Yang's fury erupted a few days ago when he found he could not browse his friend's holiday snaps on Flickr.com, due to access restrictions by censors after images of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre were posted on the photo-sharing Web site.

"Once you've complained all you can to your friends, what more can you do? What else is there but anger and disillusionment?" Yang said after venting his anger with friends at a hot-pot restaurant in Beijing.

The blocking of Flickr is the latest casualty of China's ongoing battle to control its sprawling Internet. Wikipedia and a raft of other popular Web sites, discussion boards and blogs have already fallen victim to the country's censors.

China employs a complex system of filters and an army of tens of thousands of human monitors to survey the country's 140 million Internet users' surfing habits and surgically clip sensitive content from in front of their eyes.

Its stability-obsessed government says the surveillance machinery, commonly known as the "Great Firewall," is necessary to let Internet users enjoy a "healthy" online environment and build a "harmonious" society.

Yang just thinks it's a pain.

"I just want to look at some photos! What's wrong with that?" said the 24-year-old accountant, typical of millions of young urban-dwelling professionals who are increasingly aware of and fed up with state intrusions into their private life.

Within days of the blocking of Flickr, links to browser plug-ins and how-to explanations to subvert the filters and see Flickr photos were gleefully posted on blogs and in chat-rooms.

Many posts were preceded by tirades against the censors for "harmonising" Flickr.

One blogger posted an image of a voodoo doll, calling it the Great Firewall and inviting users to -- digitally -- stick pins in it.

Yang said restrictions on Flickr probably wouldn't motivate him to write a blog, much less push him down the road of "potentially dangerous" activism.

But he liked the idea of the Great Firewall voodoo doll.

"Have you got the link? Maybe I'll go stick a pin in it," he said.

Ein Thread im Help-Forum wuchs rasch auf 2000 Postings, bis man sich erbarmte, zuzugeben, dass man - da nunmehr in der Bundesrepublik stationiert - der deutschen Gesetzgebung folgen müsse. Das warf weitere Fragen auf, die bislang nicht beantwortet sind. Was unsere Gesetzgebung mit der Schweiz oder Österreich zu tun hat, beispielsweise. Warum man fast zwei Tage brauchte, um sich dieses Argument zusammen zu frickeln. Und warum man eine solche Maßnahme den Usern nicht vor der Umstellung schonend beibrachte. Was Flickr dabei übersah, ist das Sonderkündigungsrecht, auch das in der deutschen Gesetzgebung verankert. Viele haben für den so genannten “Pro-Account” gezahlt und stehen nun vor einem Vertragspartner, der die versprochene Leistung nur teilweise erbringt. Selbstverständlich wollen viele der enttäuschten User Flickr verlassen und die ersten fordern ihr Geld zurück. Und dabei handelt es sich längst nicht nur um Nutzer aus den betroffenen Ländern. Die Fotografen wissen genau, dass ihre Bilder in sechs Ländern nicht mehr gesehen werden und suchen gemeinsam nach Alternativen.

Yahoo/flickr`s behavior is a demonstration of either misinformation, ignorance or arrogance - or a deliberate combination of any of these.

+++
I'm not a lawyer, but I know Germany very well and I can say that the biggest german newspaper BILD ( a awful tabloid) is full of nudes (including nipples and bare backs) - the online version too -> www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/erotik/startseite/er otik.html

+++
Yahoo/flicker introduced its local language versions with great publicity, but the are announcing nothing about the restrictions.

+++
As the protest increase, flickr tried to hush it up. Nothing about it on the flickr homepage or on the official flickr blog. Only few members of the flickr staff are writing in group discussions and in the forum stuff like this:

Steward (flickr staff):
'Those of you who are asking for the internal legal arguments, letters from regulators, citations of articles in the criminal code, etc., are bound to be disappointed. This is just not going to happen.'
flickr.com/help/forum/43626/page7/#reply24271 2

George (flickr staff)
“I don't know whether this is a breach of contract or not, so I'm sorry, but you'll have to sit tight for an answer on that.”
www.flickr.com/help/forum/35971/page8/#reply2 35208

Heather (flickr staff
“While we're happy to entertain discussion within the forum, we're going to take a much harder line in this and other topics, removing posts that are bashy and ranty either towards fellow members of the community or the team itself.”

+++
As the Explore pages – Interestingness was flooded with Protest-pictures, flickr over night removed this pictures from the Explore pages.
After repeated reminders from the customers flickr staff answers this:

Steward (flickr staff):
“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.”
www.flickr.com/help/forum/42939/

One of my photographies (not graphic stuff) with a protest note was in explore and it disrepair over night ...
