english:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that users from those countries can not access photos on flickr that are not flagged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for them ...Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!
deutsch:
flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Seit gestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind! Es gibt keine Moeglichkeit das umzustellen - das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von flickr!
Lade dieses Bild runter und poste es in deinem Account! Lass uns das Bild überall auf flickr verteilen und es in 'Interestingness' heben!! So geht es nicht!

Espanol:
No sé cuando, pero muy recientemente a las cuentas de Alemania, Hong Kong, Corea y Singapur les han prohibido ver las fotos que están en el Safe Search, las mismas en las que a nosotros nos dan la opcíón de ver o no ver. A ellos simplemente se lo prohiben. Chale no?
Francais:
Si votre compte Yahoo! est basé à Singapour, à Hong Kong, en Corée ou en Allemagne, vous ne pourrez voir que les photos qui n'ont pas été marquées comme ayant un contenu qui peut choquer. Toutes les autres ne vous seront pas accessibles. Vous serez donc condamnés à ne voir que des paysages et des fleurs. Il ne faut pas laisser faire ça. Envoyez cette photo sur votre compte pour montrer à Flickr que nous savons nous mobiliser contre la censure !
Portugues:
Se a tua conta yahoo e de Singapura, Hong Kong, Koreia e Alemanha.. vc so podera ver fotos comportadas..rs, digo censuradas.. Todas as outras nao serao acessiveis , apenas flores abelhas e anjinhos.. bem-vindos a mais um absurdo Flickr..kkkkkkk
Junte-se a nos, proteste..porque o proximo pode ser vc, seu pais, sua conta, ou o diabo a quatro...
Italiano:
Se il tuo ID yahoo è localizzato a Singapore, in Germania oppure ad Hong Kong o in Korea potrai vedere solo foto dal contenuto che è in accordo con il locale accordo dei termini di servizio per cui gli utenti flickr di quelle nazioni non potranno cambiare da SafeSearch on in SafeSearch off.
In altri termini, ciò significa che gli utenti tedeschi e delle altre nazioni citate non potranno accedere a foto su flickr che non siano flaggate "safe"
e quindi solo fiori e paesaggi per i tedeschi.
Copia e carica nel tuo stream quest' immagine sul tuo account - mostra a flickr chi siamo!
Česky:
Je-li tvé Yahoo! ID vedené pod Singapurem, Německem, Hong Kongem nebo Koreou, uvidíš jen "bezpečný obsah" opírající se o lokální Podmínky používání služby, a tudíž nebudeš moci vypnout funkci SafeSearch.
Jinými slovy, němečtí a jiní uživatelé neuvidí fotografie které nemají označení "safe".
Pro Němce - jen kytičky a krajinky!
Nechceme aby se to stalo!!!
Zkopíruj si a uploadni tento obrázek do svého streamu: ukažme Flickru, kdo jsme!
Kdo bude další...?!?!?!?!?!?!? (translation of this last one: Historicus)

In a year when two out of three Latin Americans will elect new leaders, freedom of expression remains a crucial but fragile pillar of the region’s democratic systems. In 2017, 22 media workers were killed in the Americas, and other practices—from threats of violence to criminal prosecutions—were employed against individuals exercising their freedom of expression to better inform society. In addition, new challenges to democratic debate have emerged, including the deliberate, malevolent spread of disinformation—or “fake news”—and the corresponding danger of regulatory overreach by governments in response.
The Inter-American Dialogue, Reporters Without Borders, and the Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) are pleased to host a public forum to analyze persistent threats, emerging challenges, and potential solutions for protecting freedom of expression in the Americas.

IF YOU THOUGHT SOPA AND PIPA WERE BAD...
Sign the petition to END ACTA
We need to stop ACTA before it is finally approved by all countries involved. If you value your privacy and you don't want "Big Brother" watching over you, sign this petition and spread the word. Research ACTA and see just how dangerous it is to the Internet, our privacy, and our liberties.

'The cry of the imprisoned'. A protest against the journalists, writers, poets, cartoonists and other artists, imprisoned under the draconian Digital Security Act was organised by Baki Billah, Sarwar Tushar and Shaikat Amin. The event featured songs, poetry, drama, illustrations and film at Shahbag Square in Dhaka, the equivalent of Tahrir Square in Bangladesh. A record number of arrests have been made during the COVID-19 period.
Artist Sohan Mahmud performs at the event.

A protester lies on the ground in a final, quiet act of civil disobedience, her sign displaying the exact words that organisers had announced would lead to arrest during a protest against the proscription of Palestine Action in London's Parliament Square on 6 September 2025.
Her calm expression speaks to the premeditated nature of the protest, where participants arrived fully aware they would be detained under counter-terrorism law. It was typical of protesters' attitudes that day, a personal and resolute statement of conscience in the face of potentially life-changing legal consequences.

In a year when two out of three Latin Americans will elect new leaders, freedom of expression remains a crucial but fragile pillar of the region’s democratic systems. In 2017, 22 media workers were killed in the Americas, and other practices—from threats of violence to criminal prosecutions—were employed against individuals exercising their freedom of expression to better inform society. In addition, new challenges to democratic debate have emerged, including the deliberate, malevolent spread of disinformation—or “fake news”—and the corresponding danger of regulatory overreach by governments in response.
The Inter-American Dialogue, Reporters Without Borders, and the Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) are pleased to host a public forum to analyze persistent threats, emerging challenges, and potential solutions for protecting freedom of expression in the Americas.
In every country in the Americas, the relationship between democracy and a free press has tensions and complications. In some countries, outright violence, censorship, or indirect restrictions on freedom of information threaten the free exchange of ideas and information, while in others, the threats to a free press are more subtle and pernicious—including disinformation, propaganda, and manipulation. In all cases, the press remains an essential tool to fight corruption and guarantee democratic accountability. As a result, efforts to expand transparency, freedom of expression, and access to information remain critical across the hemisphere.
The Inter-American Dialogue is proud to partner with Fundamedios USA, the Organization of American States, the IACHR Special Rapporteurship for Freedom of Expression, Freedom House, the Pan American Development Foundation, and Colpin for a sustained conversation on the interplay between media and democracy in the Americas. This conference brings together Hispanic journalists in the United States with their counterparts in Latin America to discuss common challenges.
Hip Hop Performance by the “The Little Morellos” Dance Company (city days). The majority of hip hop moves are done standing up. The feet are flexible and dancing shoes differ from the ballet ones. The movements show freedom of expression in the bodies. Individual identity: costuming, music (even normal music), hair and makeup design, staging, and lighting. The hip hop dancers with a good sense of rhythm share the dance and their love for the more bouncy music with the audience.

"Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of the prime minister, Najib Razak, over his alleged involvement in a multibillion-dollar misappropriation scandal.
Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security."
