No Porn On Blogger As Google Bans Sexually Explicit Material On Its Blogging Platform

Google has announced on Monday that it will no longer allow the users of Blogger to share sexually explicit or nude videos or images on their blogs. Until now, Google's Blogger platform previously allowed "images or videos that contain nudity or sexual activity," and stated that "Censoring this content is contrary to a service that bases itself on freedom of expression."

In a message to users of its blogging platform Blogger, Google said it will be eliminating all adult blogs from public access on March 23, 2015, implying that it will be taken them off from all forms of search.

"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 presented where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content," the message circulated by Google read.

"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."

Blogs are being given choice whether to remove the explicit images in order to make it public again or keep their blogs private with explicit content.

Google is yet to reveal the reason behind this policy change.
