Well aint that a kick in the head.....

So, got this email from Blogger today, about their Policy Content Update:

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.



Hmmm, well isnt that nice?  They're going to censor the content of their blogs.  Well to Conservative, Right Wing, Republican Blogger.

I know the Plenty O'Purple Place is history come March 23rd, no doubt in my mind about that.  Not sure about the Palace though.  I mean, I dont show full frontal nudity, and I don't show women's breasts...I suppose bare asses could be enough to get The Powers That Be dander in an uproar, though, who know?

Guess I'll have to move the whole kit-n-kaboodle to Wordpress, or Tumblr or somewhere.  Not sure how user friendly of that stuff is.  I've been with Blogger for nearly a decade (ten years come June), and I'm comfortable and happy here.  But, Blogger's not comfortable and happy with me, since I'm not just posting about puppies, and kitties, and how Obama's a Marxist/Socialist/Communist/Kenya Born/Muslim anti-Christ and all that.

Oh well, if I decide to move elsewhere, I'll let you guys know on here when I do.  And if you attempt to visit the Palace one day after March 23, and cant get in, just Google Polt's Palace...it WILL be somewhere else out there on the Interwebs.

Anyone have any suggestions about the good and bad of other hosting sites?
