I just received this FlickrMail:

Terms of Service Update


If you haven’t heard, Yahoo plans to sell its operating business, including Flickr, to Verizon Communications Inc. We anticipate the completion of the transaction to occur in June 2017. Upon the completion of this proposed transaction, Yahoo products and services, including Flickr, will be provided by a new Verizon-owned company called Yahoo Holdings, Inc.

In connection with this proposed transaction, Yahoo is updating its Terms of Service. You can review the changes by visiting our Terms of Service

These updated terms will automatically be effective on June 8, 2017, unless you cancel your Yahoo account before then.

That’s it! We look forward to continuing to deliver your favorite products and services

I wonder what else will happen...

I saw, but did not read this on Google:

Verizon to Own Flickr via $4.8B Yahoo Acquisition, Jul 25, 2016, Michael Zhang

I shudder to think what will happen with Flickr...

I suspect every photo a Verizon customer takes on his phone and chooses to upload to the cloud will be to Flickr by default. With 1 Tb, maybe unlimited storage, their customers will choose Flickr as the upload site of choice. And Verizon will sell advertising on that site and make money.

All XXX will be deleted and maybe any picture or video older than 1 or 2 years could be deleted. I see the 1TB storage limit being reduced to 250gb maybe 500gb.
