BOSTON — BoodiGo.com today said it has added a new search tab dedicated specifically to existing adult blogs on the Blogger platform.
The adult search engine made the announcement after Google changed its Blogger policy earlier in the week to prohibit blogs that contain “sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video.”
“According to the new content policy, none of these blogs or their content will be deleted, but it seems clear they will become much harder to find and view,” BoodiGo co-founder Colin Rowntree. “We preferred Blogger’s previously stated position, back when it was ‘a service which bases itself on freedom of expression,’ so we’re doing what we can to assure these blogs remain available to those who want to see them.”
Blogger’s new policy goes into effect March 23, after which “Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy.”
BoodiGo, the first adult-oriented search engine that takes the user directly to explicit sites without clutter of mainstream search services, said it has a similar search tab dedicated to searching for Tumblr blogs, filling a need created when the platform removed adult blogs from its native search function
Soon, BoodiGo will be launching a blog platform of its own to give adult bloggers a far more stable place to call home in the future, said Angie Rowntree, co-founder of BoodiGo and founder of Sssh.com
“We want to give adult industry bloggers a place to voice their opinions and share content in an environment where there won’t be sudden policy changes which effectively censor or remove access to all their hard work,” she said.
“As adult business owners, we know all too well how it feels to have the rug yanked out from beneath you by third-party policy changes.”
