Not to mention loss of other google services. When my account is suspended tomorrow, they tell me I will also lose access to Picasa and Reader. People have lost access to gmail, although that is supposedly a bug (although I have already moved all my mail to fastmail.fm).
To their credit, they gave me time (four days) to download my data, which I've done.
And even if I don't lose access to gmail, who's to say that won't happen on purpose in the near future? It's obvious that Google wants to leverage + as much as possible.
What about ad sense? Google apps? Everything is potentially targeted for pulling into the Plus system.
Finally, I've heard that beyond Picasa access, loss of your G+ profile interferes with Android utility. I don't know specifically what, or even whether that's true.
- sesqu 15y agoThis linking of services is very irksome, and has driven me off of several. Microsoft was there first, as usual, but Google is following in their footsteps.
- yanw 15y agoOther services aren't affected. Period.
- yanw 15y agoThat is just a vicious rumor. They explicitly said the no other service of theirs will be affected.
- sp332 15y agoThey've said that repeatedly, but it keeps happening so I'm still not believing them. http://www.docpop.org/2011/08/googles-antisocial-behavior/ http://www.docpop.org/2011/08/googles-antisocial-behavior/
