I was preparing my next long overdue post when I received an e-mail from Google stating:
"We've recently received reports that inappropriate content has been posted to your Google Account for Picasa Web Albums. One or more photos displayed in your gallery violates our Program Policies and has been removed. Please note that if you continue to violate these Program Policies, we may suspend your Picasa Web Albums account."In my case, the "one or more" images that were removed turned out to be one of my two large folders of images on this blog, including every single animated GIF. I spent hours compiling and organizing these images, and now they are all gone. Bloggers on blogger.com have no choice but to use Google's Picasa Web Albums as the storage location for all blog images posted.
When initially conceiving my site, I had assumed blogger.com would be an appropriate venue since I could choose to classify the blog as "contains adult content". However, if I had known that Google could decide to outright delete anything that "contains adult content", I obviously would never have selected blogger.com in the first place.
Note that the one remaining folder of images on this blog contains content similar to that of the content in the folder that Google deemed offensive. Therefore, you may see other images drop off in the future if they are selected for deletion. I am truly disappointed by Google's actions, pretending to accept blogs with adult content and then turning around and deleting such content. Since it's clear to me now that Google can delete blog content at their whim, I have no desire to make any further updates here.
However, I would consider continuing this blog's content on another more receptive blogging site... one that doesn't just SAY they allow adult content but truly ALLOWS adult content. If anyone knows of such a site, let me know, and I may decide to continue further updates there.
If I do continue at a new site, I will definitely post a link here. ^_^I want to thank all of the great visitors and subscribers to this blog for their fascinating comments and insight into drawn Japanese erotica. Thank you!
