More to Come...or Maybe Not

In case you haven't seen it yet...

Adult content policy on Blogger

Starting March 23, 2015, you won't be able to publicly share images and videos 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.

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's sexually explicit or shows graphic nudity as explained in our content policy.

AND MY RESPONSE...

Insufficient justification. Who are you to sit in judgment about what is artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific?

Anonymous said...: I agree it's ridiculous, but what happens to your blog after 23 March? I love your blog and would hate to lose it! Will I have to send a request to be a member of your blog community if it becomes private? Maybe the time has come to get your own domain name. We could all contribute and help you get one. What do you say?

READ THIS!

IT'S ART APPRECIATION! This is a blog for expanding awareness and understanding in artistic, educational, and scientific contexts of why natural is hottest and best, encouraging camaraderie among fellow naturalists, and standing up to the tyranny of manscaping! ;-)

ADULTS ONLY (minimum age 18-21 depending on where you are) who choose to enter and view for art appreciation, entertainment, and increased awareness. It contains explicit adult language and images.

DO NOT SCROLL DOWN unless you are of legal age in your local jurisdiction to view such material. If you are not of legal age or live somewhere with medieval laws, this ain’t the place for you. Back off. Leave. Go home!

Okay, if you're legal and still here, click on the pix to see 'em full size. By scrolling down and viewing any image, you acknowledge that you are of legal age to view explicit adult content where you live and that you choose to view explicit adult content for your own personal, private entertainment and broadening of your artistic horizons.

No kids, no commercials, no selling. No comments attacking other posters. Good dose of progressive politics, interesting articles, and funnies. Have a great time!

LINKS ONLY WITH OTHER NON-COMMERCIAL BLOGS.

THE FINE PRINT

This blog is for entertainment purposes only. It contains adult-oriented images, fiction, and explicit language. There is zero tolerance for content that exploits children and no content that encourages or promotes sexual attraction towards children.

I am not responsible for nor do I or have control of the content of any Internet links. Information contained herein may include errors or inaccuracies and I do not warrant the accuracy or reliability of any content.

Images have been collected from free Internet websites. Neither photographs, written material, nor other media should be construed as anything except art appreciation, nor indicative of any person’s identity, sexual orientation, occupation, or conduct. The terms "boy" and "boys" refer to gender only, not age, and all images are assumed to be of legal age adults. The operator of this blog is not the primary producer (as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. Section 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75) of any of the visual content contained herein.

This site is non-commercial and loads no adware, spyware, or popups. In accordance with Title 17 USC Section 107, any copyrighted material contained herein is distributed under fair use without profit or payment.

BTW, one of the dumbest things I know is people downloading millions of pix a year from the Internet onto blogs and websites and labeling them as their own. If you didn’t take the picture or own the rights, it doesn’t belong to you and you shouldn't be putting your label on it. But if you are the copyright owner of an image you see here and you want it removed, just let me know in a comment and it’s gone.
