Blogger websites facilitating grown-up material will be made private by holder Google one month from now
Google has cautioned clients of its Blogger stage that websites containing sexually express pictures and features will be made private on 23 March.
None of the online journals will be erased, however they will never again be freely unmistakable, the tech titan says. Individuals at present posting grown-up substance are encouraged to either evacuate it or make their websites private themselves.Online journals made after the March due date may be brought down on the off chance that they contain grown-up material, the redesigned terms state.
Under the updated adult policy terms, nudity will be allowed on Blogger blogs only if it "offers a substantial public benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts".
Bloggers are already asked to use the tag "adult" if their site contains explicit material, which means a warning page appears before the site can be accessed.
Under its current terms, Google reserves the right to add that tag itself even if the blog author disagrees.
In 2013 the company banned Blogger sites from carrying adverts for adult websites.
Censorship Yahoo-owned Tumblr also adjusted its policies on hosting sexual content in 2013, hiding "adult" themed sites from its search tool but reinstated them after a social-media backlash.
Critics have dismissed Google's move as an unnecessary form of censorship.
"Adult content has historically been at the forefront of fighting for free speech and political dissent, and this won't be changing anytime soon," wrote journalist and sex columnist Violet Blue on ZDNet.
"Sexual and erotic expression is protected speech, and pornography is not illegal."
