The mention of pornography disappeared from the list of prohibited materials on
Google Video , and a new genre “for adults” was added to the thematic catalog. Bloggers
are wondering what that means.
The ban on pornography was in the
form of uploading videos to the site. Now the mention of porn has disappeared from there, and only the ban on posting obscene materials has remained. In addition, a new category of “adult content” has appeared in the list of four dozen thematic genres for describing content.
From this we can conclude that Google now permits hosting pornographic videos on its hosting. If we consider that erotica and porn are almost the most popular topics on the Internet, then the popularity of the Google Video site can now increase many times.
However, the fact of permission of pornography on Google Video is not officially confirmed, and the text with the prohibition of such content is still found in some sections of the site, for example, in the video editing section, as well as in the
official rules for using the service. However, on the site now you can find
videos with "strawberry" , tagged "amature & adult". Tellingly, some of these films were added to the site several months ago, when the “ban on pornography” officially existed. On the other hand, it is strange that in the list of genres there is a tag “for adults”, and in official rules there is a ban on pornography. It seems that Google cannot decide whether to officially allow the placement of pornography on its server or not to do so. Due to management’s indecision, service rules are in some sort of “borderline” state, and third-party porn sites continue to
advertise themselves on Google Video pages .

At the same time, more and more
Web 2.0 generation porn sites appear on the Internet, including a pornographic version of YouTube called
PornoTube .
However, Google itself has long earned money from advertising pornography. All you need to do is enter specific requests in the search box - and you can see dozens of sponsored links in the Google AdWords system for these keywords.
