The private content can only be seen by the owner or administrator of the blog and people who the owner has shared the blog with.
“We’ll still allow nudity if the content offers a substantial public benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts,” according to the post.
For any blogs set up after March 23, Google may remove the blog or take other action if it includes adult content that breaches its rules.
The current policy allows sexual material (so long as it is legal) on a blog, which is then marked with an ‘adult’ warning for any visitors.
