I wanted to write an essay on this, but I'll try and sum it up in a sentence. Tubes, and free porn in general, offers greater espionage potential.
Suppose a surfer clicks through from a Blogger blog to a paysite, and joins the paysite. At no point in that process has he publically "shared" any personal info about himself. On the other hand, he could create a free profile on Pornhub or Xhamster (or even Blogger) that is a public declaration of his own sexual desires and experiences. If he were a suspicious individual, then the feds could easily cross-check his porn profiles against his mainstream ones, and develop an accurate picture of that individual's public vs private life.
I think that could be the key thing here. Google, Facebook and others are pushing a certain "vision" for the web, that is perhaps linked to the Snowden case and the surveillance society he speaks of.
From Blogger's own terms of service:

Blogger is a free service for communication, self-expression and freedom of speech. We believe that Blogger increases the availability of information, encourages healthy debate and makes possible new connections between people.

I pretty much read that as "tell us shit".
