Flickr announces all public Creative Commons works are now protected from deletion
Just days before Flickr mass deletes photos across its platform, the company has decided to hit its users with some good news.
In a blog post on Friday, Flickr announced that it will allow free accounts to host and upload more than the 1,000 photo limit if the photos are licensed freely under Creative Commons.

Free accounts would be limited to no more than 1,000 image uploads. Photos exceeding that limit would be deleted from users’ free accounts.
