A very boring non-descript picture of Broadgate Ice Rink, on my way home from the pub tonight, taken on my shitty iPhone camera, and almost of no aesthetic pleasure to anyone but me.
I took the photo as I thought it an interesting sight - ice rinks are normally defined by their bustle and their busyness - so when they are empty they look devoid of the joy and romanticism that shape them.
What was much more interesting was what happened afterwards. The security guard by the rink came up to me and told me in no uncertain terms that I was forbidden from taking photos.
Technically, although a public place the pavement around the rink is private property, so legally he had the right to inform me and ask me to be on my way - although there were no visible notices forbidding photography that I could see.
We then embarked on a more fundamental discussion. I asked what possible harm there was taking a photo of an empty ice rink in a public space (I certainly was not impinging on anyone's privacy). The security guard said that wasn't the problem, the problem was the buildings behind the rink and their owners, and that "certain people" - stressing that he didn't think I was one of them, whoever "they" were - may wish to take photos of them.
Incidentally, the buildings in question mostly seem to be semi-deserted restaurants once thronged by bankers and stockbrokers but now a hollow unoccupied monument to excess.
I asked if the reason why photography was forbidden was because of the fear it might aid terrorists, and if he thought I was causing harm by photographing. The guard didn't quite answer that, but said it that it was policy that people do not take photos of the rink in and he was tasked with stopping it at the earliest opportunity.
We had a further chat on the possible harm of taking photographs of empty ice rinks, in which he was quite frank in telling me that he was compelled to approach me and tell me not to photograph any more, as the rink was covered by CCTV from every angle. If he hadn't approached me and told me to stop taking photos, his supervisors reviewing his performance on CCTV would have spotted me taking photos and asked him why he didn't challenge me.
At that point I decided to thank him for his time and head home. The security guard was, truth be told, a very nice man, and I was a bit arsey and nitpicky (but not rude, just questioning). He was courteous and reasonable (he did not force me to delete my photo, nor did he ever threaten me with calling the police or any other legal measures) given his position and mandate. Though I abhor being treated as a suspect, I will not go as far as saying I felt it was a denial of my human rights - being told off for taking photos cannot be compared to our Government's complicity in torture or imprisoning innocent children.
But it did make me consider (and not for the first time) the horrible wastefulness of it all, both of intellect and money, where a simple picture of an empty ice rink is considered a threat. And how shit a world we live in when a security guard's main concern, is not of whether the buildings he is tasked with protecting are under threat, but what his superiors watching him are thinking of him as they monitor his performance (which makes him more of an insecurity guard, perhaps?). And finally, there is the question of what we as a society collectively spend on this security theatre, and what other better things we could devote that time and energy towards.
PS There are nearly 100 photos of Broadgate Ice Rink already on Flickr, so the argument that it may aid and abet terrorists (albeit unintentionally and innocently) is one that is truly bolting the stable door long after the horse has bolted.

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 the last months, artistic expression has been targeted by state and non-state actors together. Think of names such as Charlie Hebdo and Pussy Riot: what makes them so provocative that they are attacked so brutally? How can art be creative, innovative and satirical without having the freedom to do so?
"Defending Artistic Expression", a workshop organised by the Community's Working Group on Promoting Freedom of Opinion and Expression, dealt with these questions.
Against censorship!Flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Seit vorgestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind! Es gibt keine Möglichkeit das umzustellen - das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von Flickr!
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 German users can not access photos on flickr that are not flagged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ... We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!

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 !

Si tu Yahoo! ID está basada en Singapor, Alemania, Hong Kong o Corea sólamente verás contenido llamado seguro basándose en nuestros términos de servicio locales y no podrás deshabilitar el modo de búsqueda segura... En otras palabras esto significa, que usuarios alemanes p.ej. ya no podrán acceder a fotos en flickr que hayan sido "flagged", es decir marcadas como no seguras y para todo público... solamente flores y paisajes para los alemanes... No permitiremos que ésto suceda! Copia y carga esta foto a tu cuenta de yahoo por favor para mostrar a flickr quienes somos!
