Flickr to censor?

Below is an email i wrote to the owners and partners of Flickr regarding the blocking of sites such as Flickrlicio.us

"To the people of Flickr,
Let me first introduce myself. I found your site, Flickr, only a few months ago and within days i was signed up for a "Pro" account. Now i have read several reports about your actions against Flickrlicio.us, Flickr Babes and Chickenbreasts. This article in specific really stands out to me.

What do you have to say on your behalf? Why have these sites been blocked from the photos publicly hosted on Flickr? Its not about content but about censorship as far as I am concerned. If my blog of photos and thoughts were to be contrary to what you believe is appropriate would i be subject to the same denial of service?

Your own TOS states that:

This leads me to where I am at now. FlickrLicio.us, a website that I started and after talking with the owner, this post will be cross posted over there, has seemingly been blocked by Flickr/Yahoo. The site operates on the basis that Flickr “makes it possible to post images hosted on Flickr to outside websites. This use is accepted (and even encouraged!). However, pages on other websites which display images hosted on flickr.com must provide a link back to Flickr from each photo to its photo page on Flickr.” - Per the Flickr TOS.

So before i jump to the obvious conclusions i am asking you why. Every story and event has two sides. What is your side Flick/Yahoo?"
