Google censors blogs

"Adult content policy on Blogger

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.

Note: We?ll still allow nudity if the content offers a substantial public benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts.

Changes you?ll see to your existing blogs

If your existing blog doesn?t have any sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video on it, you won?t notice any changes.

If your existing 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.

Settings you can update for existing blogs

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.

There are many blogs that I follow usually devoted to some niche of vintage erotica which will suffer from this.
As google will still point to explicit material via their search engines I dont understand their concern about nudity here.
Another chip at freedom of speech from an unaccountable corporate entity.

Who uses blogger nowadays anyway? I thought everyone used Wordpress.

According to a recent survey 35% of bloggers use Blogger, compared to 43% using Wordpress.

Google have changed their minds anyway.
