Flickr’s terms refer one to you Yahoo ID terms[1] which, in section 8 say:

"You agree to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations[…] and sanctions control programs"

The US / North Korea sanctions[2] don’t specifically talk about services, but under the export of goods has this to say:

Treasury prohibitions on exporting goods to North Korea specifically relate to sales involving parties whose property and interests in property are blocked under E.O. 13551. Otherwise, there are no Treasury prohibitions on exporting goods to North Korea. Depending on the goods involved (e.g., luxury goods), the export may be subject to other U.S. export controls, such as those administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

So I think they’re be OK as long as it’s the press and not the government that’s running it.
