Today Google warns all the blog users that if there Blogs contains images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on the Blogger platform will be offline by Google end of next month.

Google warns existing bloggers with sexual content or nudity that they will have to either remove the content, set their blog to private and only viewable by the owner, or just leave. But, Google said it will allow nudity if the content offers a "substantial public benefit", which includes nudity in "artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts".

According to the Adult content policy on Blogger :

Changes you’ll see to your existing blogs

If your existing blog doesn’t have any sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video on it, you won’t notice any changes.

If your existing blog does have sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video, your blog will be made private after March 23, 2015. No content will be deleted, but private content can only be seen by the owner or admins of the blog and the people who the owner has shared the blog with.

Settings you can update for existing blogs

If your blog was created before March 23, 2015, and contains content that violates our new policy, you have a few options for changing your blog before the new policy starts:
Remove sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video from your blog
Mark your blog as private
If you’d rather take your blog down altogether, you can export your blog as a .xml file or archive your blog's text and images using Google Takeout.

In its content policy for Blogger, Google says "It is our belief that censoring this content is contrary to a service that bases itself on freedom of expression."

Blogs will have until March 23rd to meet the new policy.
