Is this a fallout of that? By the way Flickr and a host of similar sites have always been blocked in most, if not all, of the Arab countries in the Middle East - so this might just be copycat reaction by another similar government. My friends in UAE, for example, including 'liberal' Dubai cannot access a lot of these sites, including Flickr.
