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 go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this
policy goes into effect, 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 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. Also, we ask that you 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 read here (
https://support.google.com/blogger?p=policy_update).
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

But:
Just three days after announcing it was
banning sexually explicit material on Blogger, Google said today it had changed its mind after an outcry from many longtime users of the blogging platform.

Google has changed its mind about forcing sexually explicit blogs on its Blogger platform to become private.
