Flickr is accessible in China

I just found that Flickr images including some sensitive ones (like the famous one of the man standing in front of a column of tanks the Tien an men square) are available from China. I tested it by asking an acquaintance who is now in China to click on the tank image from flickr and he was able to access. It is not surprising though. It will be hard for the Chinese censors to automate the blocking of jpegs, mp3s and mpegs.
