I used to take pictures of Cannabis buds and post them on my photobucket to share with friends and on one forum. I started doing this in around 2009. I had around 100 photos in my "budshots" album by 2016. Photobucket changed their terms of service without notifying anyone and now my photos are considered "objectionable content". I didn't have these backed up anywhere else because I thought they were safe on my photobucket. They say if I want them back I have to get a member of law enforcement to contact them. I told them that they were being petty and that it is a waste of law enforcement time and that they should just let me download all my photos and delete the album from their site. They wouldn't have it and say I need to contact a member of law enforcement for a court subpoena.

Their TOS doesn't define what is deemed "objectionable content" so after 6+ years of hosting my photos someone decided that they are against the TOS but the only response I get when trying to retrieve them is that they are "objectionable content". I told them what is deemed objectionable content is a matter of personal belief and opinion, and i can still find thousands of other cannabis photos on their site.

I just want my photos back and I will never use this horrible site. It's terribly slow and full of ads compared to when I made the account to.

Tip for consumers:
Host your photos anywhere else. Don't use this dog $#*! service.
