This didn't exactly affect me -- although I've been told in some parts of the world my blog is blocked as "ADULT" and I was worried I might get swept up in some ill-advised housecleaning effort -- but I do think it's a wise reversal in policy by Google.
Changes to the Blogger Porn Content Policy update
Dear Blogger User,
This week, you received an email telling you about some changes we were
making to the Blogger Content Policy. In that email, 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 the negative impact 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 (http://www.blogger.com/content.g).
What this means for your blog:
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
(https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/86944?hl=en) so a warning will
show.
If you don't have sexually explicit content on your blog and you're
following the rest of the Blogger Content Policy
(http://www.blogger.com/content.g), you don't need to make any changes to
your blog.
Thank you for your continued feedback,
The Blogger Team
