"The blogs ... were taken down because they violated Blogger's terms of service," said Google spokeswoman Eileen Rodriguez.

"Those terms of service say that Blogspot members must agree not to post content that, among other things, is "obscene." And Google also maintains in the terms of service that it has the right to shut down a member's account at any time and for any reason."
yeah but the sentence: "The blogs ... were taken down because they violated Blogger's terms of service," said Google spokeswoman Eileen Rodriguez. is an edited quote from that woman. the paragraph below it is the writer's determination of what was the broken term.

not saying that's not it. but the violation could have easily been this:

"The Service makes use of the Internet to send and receive certain messages; therefore, Member's conduct is subject to Internet regulations, policies and procedures. Member will not use the Service for chain letters, junk mail, spamming or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process."
