There are currently AT LEAST 29 pro-pedophile blogs. Pedophilia is illegal. These blogs promote pedophilia. That, to me, is a possible violation of the terms of service, not to mention reckless on the part of Blogger, which has no age-restriction in place. There are children and teens using the same sight as the pedophiles who want to meet them. A child who meets a pedophile on Blogger puts Blogger in a very bad light. Blogger has been notified by myself and others, but this was there reply:
Hello,
Thank you for your note. Blogger is a provider of content creation tools,
not a mediator of that content. We allow our users to create blogs, but we
don't make any claims about the content of these pages. In cases where
contact information for the author is listed on the page, we recommend
working directly with this person to have this information removed or
changed.
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team
They want us to contact the pedophiles. Right, because pedophiles are going to listen to us. The reason pedophiles are dependent upon other services is because when you host your own content, you are no longer anonymous. You have to buy the domain, you have to get the server set up... on these services like Blogger, the pedophiles can remain anonymous. By taking away these avenues for them, we will be forcing them to condense more on their own sites, non-anonymously. That's their greatest fear.
Until Blogger takes this seriously, I will continue to alert the public to these blogs and Bloggers continued indifference.
Anyone who would like to see what, exactly, is on these blogs, let me know and we will get together on IM or via Email. I will not post links to such filth on a public forum (unlike the pedophiles, who WANT children to read that "God sanctions man/boy sexual relationships".)
