Original post:
Bad news today!
I suppose it will be the end of Unscathed Corpse. Since it's not a "money blog"... no banners, ads etc... I can't pay for hosting etc... and I will have no time to devote to a migration and organize a new website. 12 years !! it was fun while it lasted.... "Google hates sex". (More at ZDNet by Violet Blue).
Today I received the following:
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.
For more information, please read here. Sincerely, The Blogger Team (c) 2015 Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043.
This is extremely worrying.

ReplyDeletePeople just transfer to Tumblr or other free hosting sites. popular porn sites don't do these nor do adult blogs. Google is just seeking attention and this one will make a lot of people angry.
ReplyDeleteHi! According to this article -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogger_%28service%29 -- the edict was reversed!:
ReplyDelete"On February 28, 2015, accounting for severe backlash from long-term bloggers, Blogger reversed its decision on banning sexual content, going back to the previous policy that allowed explicit images and videos if the blog was marked as "adult" "
True?
Goole hate not only the blogs but affiliates sites too! My site was penalized UkAdultchat.com
