The government did not take the picture or account down, flcker did saying it violated a copyright, and they were just protecting themselves from a possible lawsuit. The reasoning is believable.
The problem is that The Time magazine cover, Obama picture, and Joker features are NOT copyrighted. Also, to dig further, there are other pictures on Flcker using the Time magazine cover.
So, did Flcker take it down because it was inslusting to Obama, or because they're lawyers didn't do their homework? Did Flcker get a complaint about the photo, and that's why its taken down.
Photos get removed my every image hosting website. I don't see people complaining about that when it happens.
Do not blame the government on this one, its Flcker who took down the photos.
