Google rocks.
This past summer when Google announced that it would no longer allow its powerful Google Ad-Words program to be used for any links to porn sites or contain any sexually explicit language, it was a big deal. It was an unprecedented move by the company that seemingly owns the internet and was a huge step in the right direction for porn being pushed in the face of those who don’t want to view it.
Well Google just became even more awesome. The company confirmed today that its popular blogging platform, Blogger, will no longer allow its users to post sexually explicit content. Check out the email statement sent to Blogger users:

So there you have it. Google will no longer allow blogs to feature “graphic nude images or video”, starting on March 23rd. Any blogs that continue to show explicit images will be made private and will only be visible to the blog owner, admins, and other people with whom the owner expressly shares it.
Bottom line: Google is making it so people who want to view porn still have the right to do it but it is not going to be out in the open for everyone to see.
That’s what we’re talking about.

This is such refreshing news. Online pornography is the reason there is such a huge child trafficking problem in the world today. This modification could make a huge difference in the industry. Good for Google!!!
