I don't think Google has a reputation for deleting critical blog posts -- can you reference any stories?
Don't get me wrong, there are many reasons to host your own blog. But fear that Google will remove content critical of Google seems pretty far fetched to me.
On topic: It seems unfortunate that there is no grace period for the developer to resolve a minor issue like missing links to a privacy policy.
disclaimer: I work for Google (on something unrelated).
- marcosdumay 5y agoOnce in a while there's something about Google removing critical content from their properties here on HN, but well, there is no public data to make-up one's mind, so everybody just assumes their default instance. Anyway, Google is quite famous for removing all kinds of unrelated things from the people it deemed worth removing something. So, I'd say the odds of the OP's blog being removed is rather high, just not for the reason you assumed it is.
- collaborative 5y agoYep, unfortunate I usually rank Google higher than Apple in terms of developer friendliness but funny enough something similar happened on my iOS version and Apple did give me the chance to fix it before they took any further action Back when I moved websites I forgot to change the priv. policy's link on their iOS App Store. They pointed this out to me and I immediately fixed it. Fingers crossed that this will be resolved soon
