I understand the idea behind banning sexually explicit writing, but that basically means that large large percentage of literature cannot use Google services. Anyone writing a novel basically shouldn’t use docs in case they might someday want to include sex in their writing.
- rsynnott 3y agoOr, presumably, Office 365 (does Office still have a pure-offline mode?). What's an aspirant writer of Naughty Literature to do? Or, as you say, really any writer who might at some point add a sex scene, which is fairly common.
- nickelpro 3y agoGoogle's policy doesn't say anything about using their services to create sexually explicit content, only using their services for distribution. > Do not distribute content that contains sexually explicit material, such as nudity, graphic sex acts, and pornographic material. This includes driving traffic to commercial pornography sites. We allow nudity for educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic purposes. This squares with what happened to the authors here, who were only subject to enforcement actions when they shared the content via Google Docs. But yes I think the basic idea of being unable to "trust" a free service which has no contractual obligations to you as a user is a given under any circumstances.
- lupire 3y agoThe problem is that the rules are Byzantine, and not every user has legal department. It's not true that you cannot share sexual material. What is true is that if you share sexual material, your whole account might be locked or disabled. That's a big difference.
- soraminazuki 3y agoYeah, share "1984" and get ready to be banned from Google because guess what Winston does with Julia in the novel?
