Great NEWS GUYS - GOOGLE MAKES A U-TURN!!!

(Would Have Loved To Been A Fly On)

(The Wall At That Corporate Meeting!)

Well Fellow Google Blog Owner's and Google Blog Fans while it had been report by several 2nd Party Source on the Net over the past several days that Google changed their minds about BANNING ADULT CONTENT on All Google Blogs, and while I was hoping it was true, I didn't want to get everyone hopes up till I heard it DIRECTLY FROM GOOGLE THEMSELVES!!!  Well I happy to report to all of you that GOOGLE POSTED THE FOLLOWING IN BLOG HELP that reads....

An update on the Blogger porn content policy

This week, we announced a change to Blogger’s porn policy stating that blogs that distributed sexually explicit images or graphic nudity would be made private.
We’ve received lots of feedback about making a policy change that impacts longstanding blogs, and about the negative impact this could have on individuals who post sexually explicit content to express their identities.
We appreciate the feedback. Instead of making this change, we will be maintaining our existing policies.

What this means for blog owners

• Commercial porn will continue to be prohibited.
• If you have pornographic or sexually explicit content on your blog, you must turn on the adult content setting so a warning will show. If a blog with adult content is brought to Google’s attention and the content warning is not active, we will turn on the warning interstitial for you. If this happens repeatedly, the blog may be removed.
• If you don't have sexually explicit content on your blog and you're following the rest of the Blogger Content Policy, you don't need to make any changes to your blog.

And while I really, really would like to believe that Google changed their minds about this all because they received lots of feedback about this policy change, but since when does Google listen to anything that Google Users Have To Say?  And while it may have had a part in changing their minds, it more than likely was a very small part but what I think really happened that Google is not saying is that they heard from many of their major Advertiser that said if you do this it will make our current advertising contact with you null and void!  And the Advertisers would have had Legal grounds to cancel their contacts for I'm sure that Internet Traffic to many of Google Services would have been drastically reduced if Google had continued on with their plans. And we all know that old saying, "Money Talks and Shit Walks!!!"  Just my two cents on this matter.

   

Anyway, with this latest turn of events by Google I have decided to KEEP THIS BLOG OPEN AS A PUBLIC BLOG and continue on trying my best to keep Google Gay Blog Fans in touch with their favorite Gay Blog Owners just like I have been for the past many years!!!  However, I will not be doing any up-dates to the Master List of Closed Blogs nor any posting of any closed blogs for the next week or so till everything get leveled out and back to normal.  What ever normal is on Google!  OK? Ok.

   

Just one more thing, for any of you Blog Owners that were or have started a New Blog somewhere else, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you continue on with you plans.  It's always great to have a backup Blog of a Google Blog somewhere else just in case!!!

   

And With All This Said,

Wishing Everyone Only The BEST

With BIG Blogger HUGS
