Wow, you really have something against Google in general"Google Plus is just like Facebook, only without the strong protection of your privacy."
"Google Plus is just like Facebook, only without the strong protection of your privacy."
What I'm referring to is your ever-present comments in any thread to do with Google, most having nothing to do with the question at hand. You, sir, have an axe to grind.. admit it. It's Okay.Not at all. Like everyone else, I have to use their services from time to time.
But it's dumb not to understand that they are *primarily* an advertising agency, and that everything they do is in service to that. That's how they make their money, as opposed to say Apple.
If you're fine with that, that's okay with me and obviously with you. But you should BE AWARE OF IT just as you should be aware of it with Facebook, since Google goes to great lengths to hide the extent of their data collection of you. By comparison, Facebook makes it obvious.
I'm just relating the facts, it's up to you what you do with it.

That must be why there privacy policies are hidden . And if you have evidence beyond that, not only would I love to see it but I'd love to know how you deciphered their "great lengths."If you're fine with that, that's okay with me and obviously with you.

No they don't.By comparison, Facebook makes it obvious.
Google+ doesn't spy on you anymore than Facebook does. That's just the fact that I'm passing along to everyone here. As for your point, you call it fact, I call it conjecture. Without evidence, who's to decide who's more right?I'm just relating the facts, it's up to you what you do with it.
I fail to see how that is any worse that Facebook which, according to the article you linked to, "even goes so far as to ask its users, whose accounts have been temporarily disabled for violating certain terms, to provide official photo ID to help get their stalking privileges reinstated."Will this do?
If you want to carry on believing that Google is the same as every other internet service, that's your prerogative.
