I said that we can't hold our breath waiting for them to uphold freedom of speech. Dan, to clarify: I didn't say that Flickr “has a right to do whatever”.

Case and point - this post (and the hundreds of tweets about it). Funny thing is that, by shutting down the forum, they now have less “control” over the conversation.

They are a private company and have the right to control their forums, but I can only imagine that shutting down the forum will generate a lot more discussion of it then if they had not. And yes, I agree it is up to us to protect free speech, and we can best do this by speaking freely through the many ways now available to us with the advent of social media. Thanks for the great wake-up call, John! Setting aside their decision about the picture, Flickr made a huge PR mistake in shutting down the discussion on their forum about it.
