Flickr users are openly protesting the idea of Microsoft aquiring Flickr’s parent company, Yahoo. A Group has opened up called MICROSOFT: KEEP YOUR EVlL GRUBBY HANDS OFF OF OUR FLICKR where users can upload protest photos.

No big surprise here as Flickr users have openly protested Yahoo’s acquisition of Flickr years ago and the integration of Yahoo ID’s into Flickr last year.
This seems like a waste of time for Flickr users as they really can’t do anything to stop an acquisition.
