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.

All the google haters rejoice when google gets fined in some country somewhere for some local policy violations, and start chanting that "Google must follow the laws of every place their servers are reachable".
Apples and oranges. Using Tor is the domain of private citizens and their decision to disobey/oppose their local government, which is their natural right by virtue of being the basic pillar of political power.
On the other hand, there is a very good case to be made for the separation of financial interest and political influence.
