Sections of Flickr are still blocked in Saudi Arabia

March 24, 2010  |  Saudi Internet

I will not understand the logic here. I was browsing for Apple Store photos and found out that this image was blocked. Here’s what I noticed. This URL, for example, is blocked:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/76/

CITC

Before they used to block: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/ now only a section is blocked.

You can’t block content like that, it is annoying for legit Flickr users. Here’s an example of a typical Flickr page now:

I found the following blocked folders, I will add the ones I find:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/76/

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/53/

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/54/

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/47/

To help getting it unblocked as soon as possible fill the form at internet.gov.sa, write an email to unblock@internet.gov.sa or send a fax to +966(1)2639290.
