facebook is the sameway...no one is questioning that

  Picasa Web Albums was never that way. It becomes that way automagically when the same Google account is used to subscribe to Google+. That's what I'm questioning.

  Well judging by governments getting involved around the world I would say there has been sufficient questioning of the handling of privacy. I think a lot of people where really hoping (myself included) that Google+ was going to give us the tool we wanted for social communication. But tis just another Facebook, with all the privacy concerns, and restrictions of freedom included. Everything that makes Facebook 'evil' is now part of Google. Oddly enough a lot of musician and writer friends use pseudonyms, myself included ... or even plain nick names for that matter. Facebook doesn't seem to ban those people as long as they have 'real activity'. So I could argue that Google is in fact on a worse 'evil' footing than Facebook right now. After I read through the Google "what is Google+ really for" powerpoint I closed my account. It became obvious to me it was a lock-in attempt, and then went as far as saying the main 'target' of Google+ was Microsoft and Apple (because desktop apps where seeing a resurgence eroding Google business ambitious). In my personal opinion Google+ is a very sinister piece of work which should be avoided at all costs. Because I know exactly how I would abuse it, and it appears already that Google is thinking along similar lines to me.
