Is flickr.com Safe?

Flickr is a wonderful and trustworthy photo site. Most likely the best one available. However, adult content is easily found with zero age verification. Anyone can join with nothing more than an email address, and search terms for hardcore adult material bring plenty of results.

It's just that sometimes there are spammers or bots that post hardcore pornographic materials into the groups. So when it comes to Child Safety, I ranked it unsatisfactory. Overall though it's an awesome and trustworthy site especially for amateur photographers.

A great site, but make sure you can't possibly be accused of breaching their TOS or you'll lose your account... pro or not... with (potentially) no warning. And if you work off your yahoo account as your primary e-mail address beware... you'll lose that too if it's attached to your Flickr account. Serious chance of finding porn on the site too. No problem if it's what you're looking for, but it's easy to access, so if you don't want the kids seeing it, either block the site or make sure you use safe search filtering. Not sure if you can mandate that though on someone elses acct.
