Bad news for Middle East bloggers, favored photo-site of the blogosphere Flickr has been blocked by government censors in Dubai. No official word yet as to why, but try typing words like Porn and Sex into Flickr for a better idea….interesting that people knock Google Base for hosting porn and yet no one ever seems to mention Yahoo!
