Fuck.
I will not be able to share the
type of content that I had
envisioned for this blog: The showcasing of unadulterated
Bawwww Bunny inducing "blasphemous" content--both original creations and
works of others.
Google is conservative in what they deem to be objectionable content by my standards. Not that I have received any formal warnings, but I suspect it would have been inevitable. I am playing in Google's house, so I will play by their rules. At least until the censorship free Baywords becomes a more palatable blog host by allowing advanced theme customization.
Until then I have conducted my own fig-leaf campaign to censor illustrations on this blog that would cause baby Jesus to shit himself mad. The limitations may prove to inspire creativity or apathy. Either way, this blog is going in a new PG-13 direction.
Blogger Content Policy, as of November 2009:
Adult Content: We do allow adult content on Blogger, including images or videos that contain nudity or sexual activity. But, please mark your blog as 'adult' in your Blogger settings. Otherwise, we may put it behind a 'mature content' interstitial.
No images or videos that contain nudity or sexual activity:
Check. There are some sexually suggestive
illustrations, but (1) they are censored (2) there is no sexual activity happening in the illustrations--even in the uncensored versions.
Do not use Blogger as a way to make money on adult content.
Do not profit off porn:
Check.
No incest or bestiality content: We do not allow image, video or text content that depicts or encourages incest or bestiality.
No bestiality and no images or depictions of the immediate descendants of Adam and Eve sexually reproducing:
Check.
Child safety: We have a zero tolerance policy towards content that exploits children. Some examples of this include: [...] Child pornography [...] Pedophilia: We do not allow content that encourages or promotes sexual attraction towards children. For example, do not create blogs with galleries of images of children where the collection of images or text accompanying the images is sexually suggestive
No publishing of content that would sexually arouse particular members of clergy and [the prophet] Muhammad:
Check.
Hate Speech: We want you to use Blogger to express your opinions, even very controversial ones. But, don't cross the line by publishing hate speech. By this, we mean content that promotes hate or violence towards groups
No hate speech:
Check. The opinions expressed on this blog consist mainly of the ridicule of beliefs, icons, and fictional characters. I vow not to promote the hatred of groups, such as the hatred and demonization of the
LGBT community based on theological, religious, or faith-based beliefs.
Crude Content: Don't post content just to be shocking or graphic. For example, collections of close-up images of gunshot wounds or accident scenes without additional context or commentary would violate this policy.
No lulz without context or commentary:
Check.
Violence: Don't threaten other people on your blog.
Do not be an internet tough guy or blowhard:
Check.
Copyright: [...] copyright infringement.
This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten [...] without the express written consent of the copyright holder: Gotcha.
Personal and confidential information: It's not ok to publish another person's personal and confidential information.
Do not publish the personal contact information of Mary the Blessed Virgin Whore Mother of Dog:
Check.
Impersonating others: Please don't mislead or confuse readers by pretending to be someone else or pretending to represent an organization when you don't. We're not saying you can't publish parody or satire - just avoid content that is likely to mislead readers about your true identity.
No doppelganging:
Check.
Illegal activities: Don't use Blogger to engage in illegal activities or to promote dangerous and illegal activities
Blasphemy is an illegal activity in some jurisdictions. I cannot be half-assed to sift through Blogger's entire TOS, but I suspect term 20.7 from
Google's Terms of Service is pertinent: "The Terms, and your relationship with Google under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California". I don't think blasphemy is illegal in the State of California:
Tentative check.
Spam [...] Malware and viruses
Check, and
check.
