Google performs U-turn on Blogger smut rule

Google has changed its mind about removing or hiding sexually explicit blogs on its own blogging platform.

The announcement came on Friday, just three days after Google had originally said bloggers would no longer be allowed to publicly display smut on Blogger.

One backlash, and "a ton of feedback" later however, the firm has decided to keep things just the way they were.

Google had originally given bloggers a month to remove explicit content that couldn't be classified as being artistic, educational or scientific.

It said bloggers who did not comply with the new policy would see their blogs either set to private or shut down completely.

However, many of the people who use the service to publish explicit content complained that Blogger was a means of expressing themselves. Now, it seems like Google has listened to them.
