Tight Policy for Adult Contents on Blogger!



Adult Content Policy Changed for Blogger


After March 23, 2015, sexually explicit or nude contents are not allowed to publicly share in sites hosted by blogger. But Blogger will allow nude contents only if it is artistic, educational or scientific. Nothing was clearly mentioned about sexually explicit text - policy changed only for images, videos and graphics.


All of you know that Blogger is one of the major blogging platforms next to WordPress. It allows us to share our personal views, opinions, ideas with the world. Above all, it's a social media. And Google is trying to punish those who are earning through sharing sexual contents. 


Previous Policy

Earlier, it was allowed to share sexually explicit videos or images in blogger. And such blogs should be marked as "Adult". So that the visitors can understand that they are about to enter a site with adult contents.


Settings > Other > Adult Content? > Yes > Save Settings. 


Blogger Content Warning Message

But Google has changed its policy. And certainly this is a good move to keep the web safe. I really appreciate this decision. 



Changes to the Existing Blog

  • Any existing blog with sexually explicit contents will be automatically made private after March 23, 2015. 
  • No content will be removed from the site.
  • Only admins, owners or registered users can access the site. 

What Should the Vulnerable Sites Do?

Clean up or get out! It's simple. You've only two options open. You can either - 
  • Remove sexually explicit contents from your site.
  • Or, mark your site as private.

How to Make Blogger Site Private


Settings > Basic > Permissions > Blog Readers > Choose any of the two Private options > Hit the Save Changes button. 



New Offenders - Beware!

Those are still thinking of making money through creating policy violating site, please be aware! Any site (which include sexually explicit contents) that will be created after March 23, 2015, blogger authority reserves the right to delete the blog or take any other action.
