Freedom ain’t necessarily free.
Never heard of it. It is “free”? Sometimes you get what you paid for.
There needs to be rules requiring explanation, recovery and unambiguous guidelines. Republican legislators — are you awake?
They hate God and Jesus.
In addition are CDC stats that also include many STDs, which mainly are a result of heterosexual fornication. 
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

They sent numerous emails to me telling me to delete what I don’t want or buy storage.
I know I have paid plenty to the storage device manufacturers over the decades.
Ok. Compulsory query:
Would anyone please post a link to a Rumble-like hosting service which isn’t ‘woke activist’ in its TOU (assuming that one exists).
Thank you in advance.
I was already debating nuking my flikr account for numerous reasons, including the ceiling they’ve placed which makes a paid account almost mandatory. This makes it time to close the door.
Hah hah, those guys? Nah, if it doesn’t enrich them personally, they ain’t interested.
It seems they meant what they said. How refreshing.
Sounds like the old "GIVE US MONEY" or SCREW YOU!
The lesson learned should be, invest in your own devices to back up & store your data on. Data not on a device you control is data in danger of exactly what happened, being deleted at the whim someone else. Portable devices are inexpensive, and no one has control over them but you.
I’m starting to. Just bought two years of Flikr. And now this iCloud thing which I still have to figure out if I have to pay soon or eventually. I was always afraid storage was a scam. Lol. Clearly it is not and will be widely used by everyone in a few years if not sooner. I’m waiting for the Facebook crackdown. Lol.
Yeah but I’m no fan of the “It’s Free.... but hey, by the way. F*** YOU!” business model.
Thanks, but I do back up as a rule, having a good amount of storage via SSDs, and did not say that I lost anything of value, but that they did not even offer to provide such, nor even a actual explanation for their sudden deletion (and no, there was/is no policy that required all free accts to upgrade to a paid accounts in order to maintain their content - except for Restricted or Moderate content, which none of mine were cited as).
The issue is not that of losing my own data, but of making it available for all. I should have made it clearer that the purpose of my post was that of providing another example of wanton liberal censorship, thus not to be trusted.
Could be the result of the Biden economy. 🙂
Show me even one saying that. The only emails I see are those offering discounted upgrades, such as on 5/4/22,
Here’s a quick reminder as our new free account limits go into effect: if you want to upgrade to Flickr Pro for up to 25% off, you have until May 18, 2022, so act fast! It looks like the free account limit changes won’t affect you, but now’s a great time to upgrade anyway—especially if you’ve been thinking about posting private photos to Flickr, or dipping your toes into the kinds of photography we consider “moderate” or “restricted.”
Which was preceded by this on 4/19/2:
Beginning May 1, 2022, Flickr will start enforcing our recently-announced Free account changes regarding Restricted and Moderate content. What this means: Free accounts with Restricted or Moderate content will be considered in violation of our terms of service and subject to removal. Accounts found in violation of our terms will need to either subscribe to Flickr Pro or remove the content in violation.
However, my content was never cited, treated or or classed as Restricted or Moderate and as Fliker stated "It looks like the free account limit changes won’t affect you." Nor was there any notice to remove the content in violation, while the violative content remains a mystery.
Never EVER put anything you care about in the cloud. Friend let her iPhone do this. Then an automatic O/S update cut her off from all her pictures. Tech support just shrugged.
Likewise never put anything that the government might use against you ten years from now into the cloud.
Best plan: never use web-based storage sites at all.
