Google has unveiled its plans on content filtering and says it will block sites for particular countries, owing to objectionable content.

After Twitter, Google has also announced its plans to make content on its blogger platform selectively available, depending on the local rules of each country. With this facility, Government can now directly contact Google regarding any inappropriate post.
If people of a certain country find any content objectionable on Google blog-posts, they can approach Google and have that content blocked for the country. Also, others from the country won't be able to view the content once it has been blocked.

Google's content filtering, for now, is only limited to the blogging platform and does not affect other micro-blogging sites. It might have an impact on other sites later on. Also, websites with a custom URL e.g. www.myblog.com hosted using the Blogger platform will remain unaffected.
In the past few years, Google has been involved in conflicts with a lot of countries, owing to the content on its sites. This announcement is the answer to all requests from governments across the world urging Google to filter content they deem objectionable.
Visitors can see the US version of any blog by visiting blogname.blogspot.in/ncr. NCR stands for No Country Redirect and can be used across all Google properties to view the US version of the site instead of the local one, reports NDTV.
