...no longer for ****. At least, Google seems to think so.

Google’s Blogger Service To Ban Nudity and Sex wrote:
Google’s Blogger blogging service previously allowed X-rated content on their sites so long as they were marked appropriately. But starting on March 23rd. 2015, Blogger will forcefully privatize all blogs with sexually explicit content or nude photo’s in a mass 30-day eviction notice to everyone who uses them services to post pornographic pictures. According to Google you have two options: 1. Make your blog private so that the only person who can see the content are blog owners, or 2. Remove all sexually explicit content from you blog before the specified date.

For a blogging site that dedicated itself to the premise of freedom of expression, it sure doesn’t want you to express your freedom. As of yet it is unclear why Google had the sudden change of heart in its puritanical efforts to cleanse the blogging network any wayward spooge. Although Blogger will still be allowing nudity for anything that benefits the public, such as education, art, scientific, or documentary in context.

It seems like a very sex-negative thing to do to forcefully exclude pornographic images on Blogger all of a sudden. It is not as if Blogger suddenly had a lot of **** bloggers, some of the sex blogs that will be forcefully privatized have been members of this site for over a decade. Some of these blogs probably use Blogger as a form of steady income, as Blogger is one of the only free blogging services that allows Adsense and other third party advertising sites. This has prompted Internet Archives owner Jason Scott to scramble to archive the blogs before they are gone for good.

It seems that the only possible option for established **** blogs on Blogger is to export their content and head on over to sites like WordPress or Tumblr. But for blogs that have had their content monetized by third party programs like Adsense are out of luck, as neither Tumblr nor WordPress allows third party advertising methods on their sites, or at least not an easy way to implement it in the way of Tumblr.
I just can't wait to see how many words get censored in that. I even had to find a google shortened link to bypass the filter on the web address. Smiley: laugh

Thing is no one will know what's going on. All they'll know is google has something against the * key. Not too sure I really want to know, but do people actually make that much use of blogger for **** sites anyway?

Reminds me of when MSN did away with all their adult oriented communities, shortly before doing away with MSN Communities entirely(Think Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire/etc). I actually had an anime fan site of sorts with them when I was in high school (around the year 2001), and a separate community just for hentai.

The anime fan site had a small band of regulars, but the hentai community's following was massive, and grew by hundreds of new registered users every day. About a year or two after it began, MSN "moved" all communities flagged for adult oriented content to some kind of subsidy website, where no one could log in and access them, not even the community owners. The subsidy site basically served as a concentration camp for all adult oriented sites on their network.

Now it seems Google is making the same sort of move. I imagine their next step will be to eliminate their Blogger service entirely.

I find it amusing that as cable services are getting more racy, internet services are getting less so. I'm thinking that "follow the money" is a good guide to this.

I assume he means the various original programming series on premium cable networks which are heavy in the nudity and sex. Best current example would be Game of Thrones but it probably really got rolling with Rome.

This is shocking! Blogger still exists?

I didn't think there was "prawn" to see in blogger's posts. I can see the posters being upset about it, but if you're going to blogs as a source of T&A, then you're misguided.

There are blogs dedicated to sharing video and picture sets from various pay sites. Those are the popular ones. Hosting only previews and samples themselves and providing links to file sharing sites.

That is more understandable. I was thinking "Hey, I went to work today, look at my crack". I can't imagine a forum like this with explicit selfies. No offense.

They're showing husbands and wives sharing beds. Obscene.

You don't have to imagine, you just need to operate the search function.

All things considered I'd still prefer to limit this to an imagination thing. If this is where **** is going these days I can understand Google's decision to part ways.

There are also a bunch of people (women, mostly, cause the internet doesn't want to see naked men) who use them as their personal **** sites, that have a decent following. I think they also hit up the "free" cam sites out there and get people to pay them to take off their clothes.


The internet really is for ****. And I doubt Google will change that any time soon.

Not since they started filtering search results like crazy.

Now Bing is the go to **** search. It's very good at giving you **** even when you aren't actually looking for it. "Margot Robbie? Are you sure you didn't mean Margot Robbie NUDE?. You know that's what you really wanted."

I actually support that filter, because the stuff is still there, you just have to know exactly what you're looking for. Given how some sites can be misleading, I think that's a fair trade off to not have people accidentally stumbling on a site.
