Earlier this week, the firm warned bloggers that blogs containing
sexually explicit images and videos would be made private on 23 March.
After "a ton of feedback" the firm has decided to continue with its current policy instead, it says.
Explicit blogs must continue to identify themselves as "adult".
This means a warning page is shown before readers are transferred to the site.
Google also reserves the right to add an "adult" tag to Blogger blogs if it feels the description is appropriate.
The "acceptable use" policy link currently redirects users to a posted message which reads:
"We've had a ton of feedback, in particular about the
introduction of a retroactive change (some people have had accounts for
10+ years), but also about the negative impact on individuals who post
sexually explicit content to express their identities.
"So rather than implement this change, we've decided to step
up enforcement around our existing policy prohibiting commercial porn."
As long as bloggers have correctly identified their adult blogs they need take no further action, the message adds.
Google had originally proposed forcing existing explicit
blogs to go private from next month, and said it would potentially take
down blogs created after its 23 March deadline
