Google and Blogger.com Update Policies
New Guidelines for User-Generated Content
Effective Immediately
In a major update to its policies, Google and Blogger.com have announced new guidelines for user-generated content. The changes, which are effective immediately, are designed to improve the quality and safety of content posted on the platforms.
One of the most significant changes is the introduction of a new policy on hate speech. Under the new policy, content that promotes violence, hatred, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics will be removed from the platforms.
Google and Blogger.com have also updated their policies on harmful content. The new policies prohibit content that is defamatory, libelous, or that threatens or harasses individuals or groups. Additionally, content that contains graphic violence, child sexual abuse imagery, or other illegal content will also be removed.
The updates to the policies are part of Google and Blogger.com's ongoing efforts to create a safe and welcoming environment for users. The company encourages users to report any content that they believe violates the new policies.
