Flickr and Obama's strange relationship

Flickr has been doing a lot of political censorship lately, the most recent taking down a mocking picture of Obama depicting him as the Joker. This is in addition to other pro-Obama censorship, including deleting the photos of a user that left critical comments on the official White House photo page. Now, this wouldn't have anything to do with Flickr signing an agreement with the Obama White House to carry their propaganda, would it?

Yahoo censors Obama critic

Apparently Yahoo feels compelled to retaliate against those who dare to criticize politicians on its services by deleting all of their data. Rather unfortunate. I'm certainly not creating a flickr account anytime soon.
