Flickr chiefs are likely hoping that the move will add fuel to a drive to gain more Flickr Pro members, who would need these paid accounts to access such content when the new terms kick in. It is currently not difficult to find explicit sexual imagery on Flickr, even without having to sign up for an account. Videos containing content that would fit in neither category are not allowed on the site. ‘Restricted’ images would include photos that show “full-frontal nudity and sexual acts”. For many people, the photo and video hosting site Flickr is an online platform long-since relegated to the bottom drawer of internet memory, wedged alongside MySpace and Friendster.įounded in 2004, formerly owned by Yahoo, and last acquired by the even older SmugMug platform in 2018, Flickr is still in operation, and in 2022 is attempting to make inroads into the explicit content business.įlickr has announced that under the platforms’ new terms, images deemed ‘moderate’ or ‘restricted’ will only be accessible to those who have a Flickr Pro account, which costs from $8.25 per month.įlickr defines ‘moderate’ images as containing “partial nudity, like bare breasts and bottoms”.
