Verizon bought Yahoo, so Flickr and Tumblr users with AT&T email addresses are being cut off
Verizon's using its purchase of Yahoo for more than undermining the fight for net neutrality: it's also using its new acquisitions to make anti-competitive moves against its telcoms rivals, deploying the users of Flickr and Tumblr as hostages.
Starting on June 30, any Flickr or Tumblr user with an email address provided by an AT&T subsidiary -- such as bellsouth.net, att.net, nvbell.net, pacbell.net, prodigy.net, sbcglobal.net, etc -- will no longer be able to access their accounts -- they'll have to create new Yahoo IDs to continue accessing their stored photos, posts, and other materials.
Other Yahoo services are also affected, from Yahoo Fantasy Sports to Yahoo Answers and many, many others.
