My question… how are these hotels and brands getting away with using flickr for business purposes, or better question:
How long before Flickr further cracks down on businesses and starts deleting accounts?
Anyone that understands this complexity with flickr, please let me know. I don’t get how this is being utilized as it violates the TOS? Is it ok, or does Flickr just not care until they choose too? I think there is a transparency and consistency issue here for Flickr? Thoughts?
