Flickr.com has been blocked in China since 7th June, 2007, the reason unidentified. Reports have come from everywhere in China confirming the blockage. Flickr’s team has also confirmed that the problem is not from their end. The blocked servers are currently farm1.static.flickr.com and farm2.static.flickr.com, which are reportedly servers for pictures only. This explaines the fact that all texts on Flickr are unaffected whereas no photo could be shown when one attemps to access flickr.com inside mainland China. Some domestic search engines are now sensitive to these server addresses as well. Baidu, the most popular search engine in mainland China, gives no result under the keyword “farm1.static.flickr.com” or “farm2.static.flickr.com".
Flickr has been popular amongst Chinese users and many have Pro (paid) accounts.
今天Flickr遇到了从来没有经历过的可怕事情，对于所有中国的用户来说简直是一场灾难。具体的状况是，Flickr的首页和登录都没有问题，但是Flickr上的图片全都无法显示，成为一个看不到图片的图片社区。
初步确认是防火墙的原因，将图片显示的域名被过滤掉了，而且是关键字过滤。过滤的词语是farm1.static.flickr.com和farm2.static.flickr.com。大家可以用Google或Yahoo搜索一下这个地址，立刻就会导致页面无法访问。（Google会显示“目前无法访问 www.google.com，搜索结果来自 www.google.cn”）
