Filter, block, or report content on Flickr

At Yahoo, we make your daily habits inspiring and entertaining

The ability to share with one another and take an active part in the community

is an important part of enjoying your experience using Flickr

We’re all different and in communities with so many perspectives, you may see things you don’t like or don’t agree with

If you come across topics you find offensive, words you don’t like, or if you just don’t want to see something, ...

Yahoo provides tools to help you tailor the content you see

In Flickr, you can tailor what you see with SafeSearch or you can block someone

Set up SafeSearch filters to show you only what is safe for a global, public audience when you search or browse

Filter with SafeSearch

Click “Settings” from your buddy icon

Go to the Privacy and Permissions tab, scroll down to the Content filters section,

and click “edit” next to SafeSearch

Select “SafeSearch on” and click “Save Changes”

If you don’t want someone to see your content and interact with you, you can block them

People you block are removed as your contacts and you’re removed as theirs

They can’t comment on your photos or albums, add your photos to galleries or as favorites,

blog them, or add notes or tags

They also can’t add you to photos or send you FlickrMail

To block someone, click his name

Select “Block” from the “more” menu

Select the check box and click “Block”

At times, you may see more serious issues that you feel Yahoo needs to review

If you see something like this, we encourage you to report them to us

We review reports and take appropriate action

To report serious issues, click the photo you want to report

At the bottom of the page, click “Report Abuse”

Select “Other Concerns” from the menu, enter any additional details, and click “Send”

We hope these steps help you continue to enjoy using Flickr
