It would not surprise me in the least that some nudity finds its way onto Flickr. It's just like the multiple layers of firewall available to you, or the multiple "safe search" levels on Google. You can protect yourself and your family from most everything, but it may be so restrictive that it hinders some activities. I believe that these levels of filtering are necessary, and have their place. You just have to know how to tweak them to your preference ;) I’m guessing that the nudity tag came about as a result of the community filtering that is taking place (which I highly approve of).

Perhaps we should flag that for review. Thanks for replying too, Ron (a friend of the company). As Ron said, the whitelist feature lets you make exceptions when our category blocking makes a decision you disagree with. :-) Odd that Flickr was categorized as nudity… Perhaps we should flag that for review.
