Pure. F’ing. Arrogance.

Posted at 11:25 am under Rants

I read this with my mouth hanging open. I couldn’t believe the arrogance of someone claiming that censoring in the name of a TOS is not censoring.

Censoring is censoring, Heather. Period. I don’t care if you do it to save kittens from lightning strikes.

I’m not debating the rightness or wrongness of censoring at this point, but saying that it’s not what it is because it’s done to enforce a TOS is ludicrous.

Thomas Hawk (a friend of mine) is right as he usually is. If only the fanboys in his comments would realize it, they’d be a lot happier in life.

I can’t believe what Flickr has become. I just can’t.

    Yes! Censorship is censorship, whether it’s done by the government, a church, parents, a corporation or a website. It just happens to be legal in all cases except the first. It might even be a good thing, but it’s still censorship.
