Recently, Google publicised advice about a new type of abuse that may be reportable, when present in a Blogger blog.
It appears that "revenge porn" is now part of the "Remove information from Google" reporting process.
You may use the "Remove information ..." form, to report "revenge porn".
If you are offended by a Blogger blog - and if the contents of the blog reflect the description
Please be aware that these reports will be evaluated carefully.
Please consider reality, however. Since this is a new abuse category, any reports most likely will be evaluated very carefully by the staff who process the complaints.
Don't try to stretch the definition, by what you "believe", or what might be considered the case, in extreme circumstances. Submit a complaint, only when the complaint fits the definition of the new abuse category.
Do the right thing, and report "revenge porn" only when it is righteous.
Unlike bogus DMCA complaints, I don't see any suggestion of any penalties for malicious misuse of the form. However, if you intentionally misuse this new abuse category, consider that your doing so may make one of the legal staff spend time evaluating your complaint, while another, genuinely worthy complaint may wait, unattended.
Do the right thing - and only cite the new category when it is, honestly, necessary.
Supposedly, "revenge porn" mitigation is limited to removal from Google Search. In one forum discussion, however, the new classification appears to have successfully resulted in an offensive blog being removed from Blogger.Our philosophy has always been that Search should reflect the whole web. But revenge porn images are intensely personal and emotionally damaging, and serve only to degrade the victims—predominantly women. So going forward, we’ll honor requests from people to remove nude or sexually explicit images shared without their consent from Google Search results. This is a narrow and limited policy, similar to how we treat removal requests for other highly sensitive personal information, such as bank account numbers and signatures, that may surface in our search results.
