Blogger Users Warned by Google RE: Impending Porn Policy

An Anonymous Coward (who then signed himself as Pr. L Muishkin) writes:

Google has announced their new Adult Content Policy for 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.

They also explain how a blog can be exported, presumably for use should you wish to change hosts.

Unfortunately, one man's art is another man's porn - so if you run a photography blog or just have images taken on the beach during your holidays you might want to back-up your data or recheck its contents.

    I am not a fan of pornography in any form for many reasons (I used to be but that will open up a story the size of War and Peace so let's not go there) but if there is one thing I have learned about the Internet it's this: The Internet is for Porn" [youtube.com]. An Internet-connected tablet computer is the greatest pornography delivery system ever developed.

    It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.

    I should have also said that the Internet is for cat videos, but then that's just another kind of pussy.

    There's little need to develop social skills if you can get your satisfaction online.

      Are you saying it's wrong to satisfy sexual desire/release without an involved negotiation process (potentially costing thousands of dollars in gifts) with another party?
