New Adult Content Policy On Blogger Starts March 23, 2015

Yesterday, I happened to see a note from the Blogger team announcing that starting March 23, 2015, you won't be able to publicly share images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Blogger. My first reaction was to wonder how, if any, bloggers I regularly read would ever have to worry about that.  I can’t think of any thank goodness.

According to Blogger, if your existing blog doesn’t have any sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video on it, you won’t notice any changes. However, if your blog does have sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video, your blog will be made private after March 23, 2015. No content will be deleted, but private content can only be seen by the owner or admins of the blog and the people who the owner has shared the blog with. That would be a shock to wake up to on March 24th!!

If your blog was created before March 23, 2015, and contains content that violates our new policy, you have a few options for changing your blog before the new policy starts:

• Remove sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video from your blog
• Mark your blog as private

If you’d rather take your blog down altogether, you can export your blog as a .xml file or archive your blog's text and images using Google Takeout.

Effect on new blogs

For any blogs created after March 23, 2015, we may remove the blog or take other action if it includes content that is sexually explicit or shows graphic nudity as explained in our content policy.
