Wow-Puritan Mrs. Grundy Rules Google Plus--Showing this got me kicked off the internet

I am more than slightly stunned..

I just realized I have been kicked off a Google Plus Community because I put up this picture of one of the rare surviving Girlie Show Shops in Midtown ( of which Times Square was once the Center-- I must have been reported for "Abuse" because I suddenly found I was banned from the site and a notice was sent to me about specifying I was not posting "adult material."

 Looks like the Westboro Baptist Church Mentality is more than alive and well on Google Plus,
and I stand accused as a pornographer for showing this and also probably a child molester and  someone who has illicit relations with farm animals as well, I suppose...

I have long known that New York really "cleaned up" Times Square" and one reason was that porn of all sorts merely found a new home on the internet. 

But I did not realize how rigid and uptight  this whole Google Plus World was until now..

I wonder if I dare report on current events in the world and for instance use the name of the Punk Rock Girl Group that Putin has thrown in the slammer... ( if you don't know who they are, you are probably living in a very happy bubble and don't know much about what happens to freedom of speech anywhere in the World)...

Sheesh, as they say.
