Invasion of privacy

I ve had an old account from Flickr. With personal photos. They went public without my consent.
Can someone help me please?

There was an old email that has been closed and Ive tried to contact Flickr on multiple occasions and manners. Sent many messages to workers from Flickr. No one is responding. Privacy of children's and people is invaded.

Can someone help me please? I ve never had such a bad experience with a website. No respone,even opening a question on Flickr public asking question format is not available.

Only in the Pro version you can do something and that is at least 6 euro a month.
The menu is so strange, that i don't know when or what to do here.
1000 photos is nothing for a photographer, but that is free. After that you can only go on in Pro

Completely horrible site with the worst customer service I have EVER experienced. They deleted my account with ZERO explanation after having a pro account and paying $70 a year for the past 8 years! I have NEVER uploaded nudity or copyright photos! Only family photos and videos. They still will not respond to me or any emails I have sent. Their contact information is non existent. They respond at will. I hope this company goes bankrupt and they all lose their jobs. Flickr is a bulls*** scam. I’ve lost 10,000 irreplaceable photos because of these scum bags.

Shocked. Horrible photos people put on here marked 'safe'…

Horrible photos people put on here about people in difficulty, racism, posts relating to Governments and other nationalities, kids and young people, it's horrible. I am an ordinary person who tried this platform to get help from charities/UK Gov and I am blocked by Flickr. The more sinister you are the more their "team" help you. They will not assist me despite multiple communications with them. I am not a criminal or anyone to be blocked. I am postgraduate qualified person with national and international contacts I cannot reach through any social media platform inc Flickr FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. I urge them to justify (a) why they allow such weird and controversial material (b) why they mark it as 'safe' and (c) why I, as an ordinary person, cannot seek assistance through this platform. Perhaps it's a counterfeit site. I used to use it when I taught in the arts and it was fine. I cannot find any of my contacts on it. Please respond. Thank you.

I have had a Flicker account since 2016. Recently I got a reprimand for an honest opinion about an awful photo, it turns out that the company's policy makes it possible to lie about terrible photos only to keep users in the belief that they are the best in the world, thus persuading them to PRO subscription. Examples of discrimination for ordinary users: limiting the size of the displayed photo, limiting the number of images to 1000, restrictions for Groups ... it is certainly not worth buying

Flickr take your photos hostage and in my case they tell me that i have 1888 photos non- public but no matter how many times i count i can only get 76 photos. Maybe they also incl. my private photos on my Ipad???? If i dont reduce the number till 50 photo non-public or pay 6.99$/month they “are soon going delete my account”
But how can i reduce from 1888 to 50 photos when i only have 76, i have reduced from 76 to 50 but they want me to do it from 1888??? One star is one to many but can only give less!

Terrible company

Terrible company
My account of 10 years with photos has been cancelled without any explanation and they have deleted the photos without giving me time to recover them and I had paid the annual fee until June 2023 with no right to a refund.

Worst photo site ever

Worst photo site ever. Frequent "bad bad panda" outages.

Extort money to allow you to keep photos stored on site then ban you without warning for storing images that are not your own. They are, some are missing exif data because I scanned from 35mm negatives.

No refund of my pro subscription, no right to appeal. Truly dreadful way to treat customers.

Legit* theft

The account cannot be recovered. Non-existent assistance. Absolute incompetence!
Update two days after the ticket:
Assistance after 48 hours, but available and decisive.

Imagine that you are a hobbyist who used this site to upload several of 1000 of photos for your sport club. All of a sudden they give you an ultimatum: pay us or we will remove your photos. What a great way to treat your customers... Never again will I use Flickr.

It is getting worse and worse since yahoo sold it. I am getting tired of these emails concerning that they claim i have more nonpublic photos than what they allowing. I don't, but they are keep sending these emails. I don't even use flickr anymore, it used to be useful and good, but now it is a mess.

Very angry customer

I had a paid account with Flikr and they closed my account after one one of my full payment for 2nd year. They said that I have violated their policies. When I asked for how, they didn’t reply.

I had another free account and today I received another email saying I have violated their policies. I am suspecting they force their clients to subscribe to become a paid membership, which is not right.🤬🤬🤬

It ain't what it used to be

Flickr is very hostile to its clients and threatens them if they don't pay the subscription, their "moderated" content will be deleted. Absolutely awful policy.
No new features, login and stability problems.
