Flickr now using nofollow tags

About a year ago, Youtube - apparently prompted by Google - added the anti-web nofollow tag to an increasing variety of their outbound links (except for some links, such as those which were on content provided by videomaker.com, something that would seem to violate Google's own rules). You can see the salmon-colored excess here and here.

Now, visiting my barely-used Flickr site (flickr.com/photos/lonewackodotcom), I see that they're using that tag too, for instance on this: flickr.com/photos/lonewackodotcom/265708046 (see the link in the caption). I'm almost positive there was no such tag there before, but I don't know exactly when they added those or if those who buy a subscription or who have some sort of business deal with Yahoo don't have the tags on their links.

Well yes the business wants to tag us all for political reason. who really owns youtube and the net do you really know for a fact? What happened to youtube can happen now to all WEB sites and to the net at any time it was a test to see if the system boss's could do just that take the system down if the people get out of line. The business deal was with some big time msulim boss's who want to control you and know you real well, for political and race and religious reason are many and all evil, be afraid real afraid, lots of fear is a good thing to have in this world of evil beasts.
