It Was Only A Matter Of Time. Google Is Now Censoring Bloggers Like Myself For Posting Hilarious Photoshops Like These Of Jeri Ryan aka 7of9 |
DATED FEBRUARY 23, 2015 -
Dear Blogger User,
We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content Policy that may affect your account.
In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content.
The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be able to see the content we've made private.
Our records indicate that your account may be affected by this policy change. Please refrain from creating new content that would violate this policy. Also, we ask that you make any necessary changes to your existing blog to comply as soon as possible, so that you won't experience any interruptions in service. You may also choose to create an archive of your content via Google Takeout (https://www.google.com/settings/takeout/custom/blogger).
For more information, please read here (https://support.google.com/blogger?p=policy_update).
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

Adult content policy on Blogger
Starting
March 23, 2015, you won't be able to publicly share images and video
that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Blogger.
Note: We’ll
still allow nudity if the content offers a substantial public
benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or
scientific contexts.
Changes you’ll see to your existing blogs
If
your existing blog doesn’t have any sexually explicit or graphic
nude images or video on it, you won’t notice any changes.
If
your existing blog does have sexually explicit or graphic nude images
or video, your blog will be made private after March 23, 2015. No
content will be deleted, but private content can only be seen by the
owner or admins of the blog and the people who the owner has shared
the blog with.
Settings you can update for existing blogs
If
your blog was created before March 23, 2015, and contains content
that violates our new policy, you have a few options for changing
your blog before the new policy starts:
- Remove sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video from your blog
If
you’d rather take your blog down altogether, you can export
your blog as
a .xml file or archive your blog's text and images using Google
Takeout.
Effect on new blogs
For
any blogs created after March 23, 2015, we may remove the blog or
take other action if it includes content that is sexually explicit or
shows graphic nudity as explained in our content
policy.
WHAT ASSHOLES. BLATANT CENSORSHIP! WHERE'S THE ACLU? I'M TELLING YOU, THIS IS THE FIRST MOVE IN THE TOTAL CLAMPDOWN AND TOTAL CONTROL OF THE NET BY THE CORPORATE-GOVERNMENT IDIOTS WHO WANT TO REGULATE IT TO THE HILT AND MILK EVERY DIME OUT OF IT THEY CAN. JUST WATCH.
