Madame Arcati censored! What took them soooooooo long?

Sunday, June 13, 2010

You will have noticed that Madame Arcati has at long last got its 18 certificate from Google. It took them long enough. I've been putting up cock pics for about four years and there was no sign of a swoon. But only now has Google placed a content warning sign on this site, giving you the option to go elsewhere more decent - there are 285,000,000 Google porn links to choose from (just type 'porn' into your Google search box).

That there is nothing on Arcati that could be described as porn is neither here nor there. In having a free access site you will attract all sorts, including the baffled, the litigious, the sexually repressed, the moralistic and the plain dumb. Google happily slaps blocks on its Blogger sites if any of the above 'report abuse'. It is near-impossible to reverse judgement because it is impossible to make direct contact with the company - despite teasing contact links falsely claiming otherwise.

Instead, you're invited to post questions on their discussion forums which are usually ignored or responded to by some anonymous Google apologist. In essense, Google censors its blogs and allows no appeal. It treats its 'publishers' with the total contempt of the greedy, illiberal, money-grubbing, Big Brother monopoly that it is.

For me, this comes at an interesting time. I had of late considered either resting Arcati for a while or moving her to another place. Other interests are crowding in; time is precious. I have yet to decide what to do. It could be that Google has done me a favour: 'hardcore' has its own allure and now I am free not to pussy- or cocky-foot about. Believe it or not but even Arcati has in the past year or two censored herself against her own nature.

I am rather impressed with myself that an instinctive wish to change things coincides with an external intervention. I shall ponder more on this synchronicity.

Meantime I shall continue to post stuff.
