Crying out justice, but seeking out triumphs (iwanttobeasleep) wrote in [info]otf_wank,

Flickr is a website where people share photos of themselves, often with complete strangers.

Nachismo is a photo-sharing member who comes with a harrowing tale. Apparently, someone else on Flickr (Whitman) had some pictures of his daughter posted on a pedophilic site (the original story has been taken down, so no further details). So she creates a petition to make Flickr stop the pedophiles from viewing photos of children on the site. Throughout the comments there is a lot of support, and people calling for the balls of pedophiles on a silver platter.

Flickr should be a safe website for friends to meet new friends and to share pictures: Flickr should not be a playground for pedophiles.


There's also: It's okay to spam and if you don't like it, you're with the pedophiles!

And: I'm sad that my paranoia keeps me from showing pictures of my kids to complete strangers.

Whitman comes in to say that: Flickr accounts should be verifiable. Like Paypal. Even the free ones.

Not to mention: They seem to have a big problem with spamming.

And this last one, because no wank report is complete with someone bringing logic in a tl;dr style.

And Junior and Missy will not be traumatised by not having their exploits broadcast to the world.

I can't imagine a five-year old crying because daddy won't put her picture on the intarwebs, although how YOUNG are myspacers these days anyway? /:)

I think something like only a third of them are minors. Most are adults. You might want to double check this though.

Given some of the hideous layouts, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are five year olds.
