That's extremely hypocritical considering Google is the #1 tool when it comes to finding porn and Google Images is just, like, full of the stuff. There's a warning when entering NSFW blogs anyway, so I don't see the problem.
It seems like banning it is a bit oppressive. I've always viewed the internet as a place that's full of free thought, speech, expression etc no matter what it is. Also as an adult medium, not a padded child safe playground as a place for non attentive parents to drop their kids off. If people don't wish to see porn or cnn or anything religious they don't have to. They can exclude it, block it etc. It becomes uncomfortable when those in positions of control/power start making the decisions for us.
Google is so worried about blogger having porn yet just last summer I was working on a furniture project involving wood joinery. Using google's trusty advanced reverse image search using a photo of wood joints it turned up plenty of results - 95% of which were bare breasts. Nice job google. Maybe they should check their own issues before being concerned with others.
I found out about this from a rant someone posted to their Deviantart account. It will be interesting to see how many people they piss off by pulling blogs that accidentally get labelled as violating the new TOS. Conversely you can be sure that some blogs that are in violation won't get pulled.
