Contrary to the previous announcement made by Blogger stating clear that it will convert blogs with Porn/nude content to private from march 23,2015 as it has decided to take its policy more seriously,.... but now the story seem to have changed.
Yesterday, Blogger sent all its blog owners a message, giving reasons why they have decided to change their mind on the New policy previously announced and one of the major reasons was because of long standing blogs which already has loads of nude content on their blog since they started blogging.
Google, however still frown at such post. If a blog with adult content is brought to Google’s attention and the content warning is not active, They will turn on the warning interstitial, and have the blog removed if it happens repeatedly.
Here's the Full Announcement by Google.
This week, we announced a change to Blogger’s porn policy stating that blogs that distributed sexually explicit images or graphic nudity would be made private.
We’ve received lots of feedback about making a policy change that impacts longstanding blogs, and about the negative impact this could have on individuals who post sexually explicit content to express their identities.
We appreciate the feedback. Instead of making this change, we will be maintaining our existing policies.
What this means for blog owners
- Commercial porn will continue to be prohibited.
- If you have pornographic or sexually explicit content on your blog, you must turn on the adult content setting so a warning will show. If a blog with adult content is brought to Google’s attention and the content warning is not active, we will turn on the warning interstitial for you. If this happens repeatedly, the blog may be removed.
- If you don't have sexually explicit content on your blog and you're following the rest of the Blogger Content Policy, you don't need to make any changes to your blog.
