Thumbs Down to new Blogger Policy!!!!

What the F??????

Dear Google

RantWoman's blogs are NOT hotbeds of naked content. rantWoman does not even feel like reviewing her blogs to see whether there is ANY nude content. RantWoman can only imagine posting nude content in the interest of some linguistic, lexicographic, artistic or other wise educational prpose. RantWoman OBJECTS to the (proposed?--RantWoman deeply hopes for massive public outcry and some other options) policy!

RantWoman is going to emit this into the blogosphere without hunting down gushing wells of commentary she would hope to find because she already has far too much to do but RantWoman OBJECTS!

RantWoman takes note of a recent message, reprinted below.

RantWoman takes note that

1. 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.
(Okay, who decides? What mechanism? What criteria????)

2. There is NO mention anywhere of who decides what meets your criteria for artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts.

3. There is NO OPTION other than take content down. NOt warning labels. Not submitting to any kind of vetting which RantWoman would probably object to anyway, NO recourse except to export one's blog to say another provider.


RantWoman's blogs are not a hotbed of nudity and RantWoman by default assumes her blogs have all sorts of educational and lexicographic value

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.
