Yo.... Was soll da eigentlich der Hintergrund sein? Hier geht's ja mit Sicherheit lockerer daher als bei den Amis.
Dacht ich eigentlich auch. Das unten war der bisher letzte offizielle Kommentar. Man munkelt, es habe wohl was mit diesen Forenhaftungsurteilen am Hut. Eigentlich auch nur ein Haufen blabla. Es schreibt ihnen zwar die halbe Welt, dass die "Solution to this" ganz einfach wäre: wieder so machen, wie es bis vorgestern war, weil so wars cool. Aber auf dem Ohr hört irgendwie keiner. Denke mal, sie wollen das aussitzen.
Mann bin ich jetzt sauer.

The decision to change the Flickr experience in Germany was never about censorship - it was made to try to ensure that Yahoo! Germany was in compliance with local legal restrictions. In fact, we're all getting really uncomfortable that the words "flickr" and "censorship" are being jammed together with increasing frequency because that is _so far_ from the direction we're trying to move in.
The central problem is that Germany has much more stringent age verification laws than its neighboring countries and specifies much harsher penalties, including jail time, for those with direct responsibility (in our case, it would be our colleagues in the German offices and we're not willing to make a call that has that kind of consequence for them).
Up to the point of launch we had been exploring every possible approach which would allow us to do what makes sense while still operating inside the law. Unfortunately, the solutions did not come together in the way we thought they would.
I know people would like to know exactly what is going on, have a chance to evaluate the internal back and forth, and know all of the reasoning. Unfortunately, that's just not possible. In the end, some of you will trust that we are doing our best and are confident that we'll have a workable system in the future and some of you will not. We'd love to be able to change that reality, but we can't. We've made and admitted to a couple of big mistakes lately, and as many of you have commented, we should have handled this issue differently.
Believe me when I say that we'd rather not make mistakes in the first place, but when we do, take hope in the fact that we always listen, always respond, and often change the system as a direct result of your input. That's the way Flickr rolls, and we never want that to change.
So again, we're not perfect (as much as we'd like to be), but everyone on the team is resourceful, fair-minded and determined to find the solution to this. You'll be the first to know the outcome.
