To bad the Whitehouse photo-stream is exempted.

The photos are darkened for me.

Interesting, I am not in the US, so perhaps that is the reason. Slightly odd though, because I can darken and see darken pictures in other streams.

Must've been a temporary mistake. The whitehouse's flickr account is definitely opted-out. None of their photos are darkened.

At least all the photos on the first page of the photostream are darkened for me. Here's a screenshot of the first picture: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24903613/ss/flickr-whitehouse-sopa.p...

Are you located outside the U.S.? It could also be possible that it changed in the last few hours.
