The US company Google warns users online platform Blogger blogs pornographic will be censored as of 23 March, inform bbc.com.
None of personal websites (blogs) created and currently hosted by Google Blogger platform will not be deleted, but they will not be available to the public, according to the American giant of the Internet.
Users who currently sexually explicit public are advised either to remove or to private blogs themselves.
Blogs created after March 23 can be removed under the new terms and conditions Blogger platform, which will take effect at the end of next month.
Under the terms of the new policy on adult content, nudity will be allowed only if the Blogger "provides a substantial public benefit, such as artistic, documentary, educational or scientific contexts".
Blogger platform users are already asked to add the label "adult" if their website contains explicit material, which means that a warning message is displayed before accessing the blog.
Under the terms and conditions of use today, Google reserves the right to label a site like adults-only whether the blog author disagrees.
In 2013, Google has banned sites on the Blogger platform to display advertisements for pornographic websites.
Critics have rejected the measure announced by Google, classifying it as a useless form of censorship.
"Adult content was, historically, in the forefront of the fight for freedom of expression and political dissent, and this will not change anytime soon," wrote journalist and commentator on sexual themes Violet Blue on site ZDNet acquis.
"Sexual and erotic expression is protected speech and pornography is illegal," says Violet Blue.
Another platform for blogs, Tumblr, owned by Yahoo, has changed in 2013, hosting pornographic content policy, hiding sites with adult themes from search application, but he returned in search results after protests appeared on online social networks.
