Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive tweeted:

> The @internetarchive did not ask to take these off of Flickr's site. We do not have any power of them-- it is up to them.

> The Images are still in the books that are hosted on Archive.org

> But I understand Flickr is interested in putting them back up.

And Don MacAskill of Flickr tweets:

"To be clear, Flickr didn't delete this. Our friends at the Internet Archive did. It's their account. I don't know all the details, but I believe we've been collaborating with IA on ways to improve the Commons, and I think removing the Books account was part of that effort." https://twitter.com/DonMacAskill/status/1511018079802720256

Clearly there's some misunderstanding/communication.
