Dude, Flickr wank!

Personally, I don't think Flickr's security is all that bad. I'm sure it could be better, security can always be better, but they do have measures in place to protect the users -- options for controlling who can download the pictures posted and who can blog them, plus views can be restricted to the general public, contacts, friends and/or family.

How come the answer is never as simple as "if you're so concerned about someone stealing pictures of your kid, don't post them publicly on the internet"?
