No, we are not trying to upload a video with pornographic content. In fact, our blog was victimized by a group of cyber idiots who use Google-owned Blogger’s free blog websites yesterday. (See 5 articles down) And our video only documents their attempted damage. Right, the title of the video we tried to upload is “Google-Owned Free Blog Service Abused for Pornography.” Is the word pornography so bad that we aren’t allowed to use it? The title doesn’t imply that OUR video contains pornographic image in the first place. But this video has been rejected at Google Video and also at YouTube. Well, we tried to upload our video at Google Video twice. It was instantly rejected in both attempts. And it’s been more than 24 hours since we uploaded the video at YouTube. But it has not been approved.

So let me understand what’s going on.

No, we are not telling Google, Blogger or YouTube what to accept or what to not accept. It’s just that Blogger’s ‘Content Policy’ says they don’t allow pornographic content. And in reality they do host pornographic content.

Note: The following websites contain pornographic images, and viewer’s discretion is highly advised.

So if somebody violates Blogger’s content policy, where can one report abuse? Hmm… I don’t know. We don’t find a webpage where one can report abuse at Blogger’s. There is no contact form. In fact, we reported abuse at Google. It’s been more than 24 hours, but they don’t remove the pornographic websites listed above.

Basically, we don’t appreciate Blogger’s or Yahoo!Geocities’ offering free websites because cyber idiots use anything for free to comment-spam this blog website and others. What disturbs us more is that they don’t patrol their websites. They don’t let non-members report abuse. That’s how it was at Geocities before, and that’s how it is at Blogger, isn’t it?

To wrap up our points, we are very confused by content policies at Google-owned websites. Is the word pornography so offensive that we aren’t even allowed to use it? They say no pornogpraphy, but they won’t enforce the rule, huh? Let me remind you again that we have about 300 videos here but that none of our videos has pornographic content. Wait… If we use the words ‘porn’ or ‘pornography,’ will Googlebot stop coming to this website?
