> Since our founding, Flickr has been a home for all photographers, no matter their subject. This has been especially valuable for community members creating restricted and moderate content that would be unwelcome or even incur bans or have their content removed from other photo sharing platforms.
> But we’ve been lax in truly defining a space for these photographers, until now. To support these creators, and ensure that their communities continue to thrive, the ability to share restricted and moderate content will be reserved for Flickr Pro members.
What do they mean by "moderate content"? I assume "restricted content" means porn, but the "restricted and moderate content" pairing doesn't make sense if you interpret "moderate" in a straightforward way.
So, reading between the lines, are they reacting to that PornHub fracas from a few years ago by requiring people who upload porn to flicker to identify themselves and pay for the extra moderation effort involved with that?

(You might call it NSFW, or explicit, or other terms, but we’ve gone ahead and defined them for Flickr here[1].)
