I have not bloged here in quite a while. Mostly , this is for personal reasons. Work, home life, life in general have been taking up most of my time. I have considered just taking this blog down entirely. After all "use it or loose it " right?
Today I recieved a message from the owners of Blogger.
"Dear Blogger User,

We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content Policy that may affect your account.

In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary or scientific contexts, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content.

The new policy will take effect on 23 March 2015. After this policy comes into force, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be able to see the content that we've made private.

Our records indicate that your account may be affected by this policy change. Please refrain from creating new content that would violate this policy. We would also ask you to make any necessary changes to your existing blog to comply as soon as possible so that you won't experience any interruptions in service. You may also choose to create an archive of your content via Google Takeout (https://www.google.com/settings/takeout/custom/blogger).

For more information, please look here (https://support.google.com/blogger?p=policy_update).

Yours sincerely,
The Blogger Team

They will not allow "sexualy explicit" pictures or videos but will allow " artistic , educational, and scientific" nudity. Sounds mighty vague. Who's to say the image of a hand job isn't

Educational if the goal is teaching better sexual technique? Is the print from the karma sutra ok but the Pic of a CBT tie is " sexualy graphic". It seems a license for Censorship. 

I also have to question why I recieved this notice. I do not recall posting pics with the blogs on leather and BDSM. I did mark the blog with adult content because kids bent need to stumble across things like crosses, whips, and leather..... Well outside of Sunday school.  so just like other adult spaces like the pup and the club this is marked as "adult". After all I don't want to be the cause of little jimmy asking his mom " what's cock and ball torture"? I can only guess the message was a mass mailing to all "adult content" marked blogs. 

I will be watching for further restrictions of content I the future as Net Nutrality is being sold off to the cable and ISO providers . I am sure to limit liability they will homogenize ans sanitize the content available and pressure larger providers like Google to restock adult content. 

In the end it's their sandbox they get to say what sand is acceptable. Welcome to the new order.
