"It makes me so sad to see the increase in 'nanny' behavior." Do you dislike it enough to join or start a competing service? That's really the only response that matters. Google doesn't have to justify how they run their site. They offer a particular service with particular rules, and people either use it or don't use it.

> Do you dislike it enough to join or start a competing service? That's really the only response that matters. No it's not. Why do you think the other response doesn't matter? That's silly, there's thousands of people reading it. And on HN that even includes people from Google! > Google doesn't have to justify how they run their site. They don't have to, but they should. After all, just what you say, people either use it or don't and if Google can't or won't justify their actions adequately, people may stop using it. Now for you, "adequate justification" obviously means nothing more than "it's in the terms". Which is absolutely fine and I must commend you for so courageously demonstrating your utter lack of spine which not only makes you inferior as an individual, but also negatively impacts those around you. BY READING THIS POST YOU AGREE WITH MY TERMS (OTHERWISE GO AWAY AND WRITE YOUR OWN POST): My terms are that you will accept whatever is written in this post, with the typical sort of submissive sigh that you invariably utter when life takes yet another dump on you, believing that there's nothing you can do but sigh, accept it and move on.

  sigh yet another rebel without a clue but inflated sense of entitlement. PS: This sigh was dismissive, not submissive.

I really don't like this 'Their house, their rules' answer. It adds nothing of value. I talked about this specific incident, sharing my (personal) thoughts and reaction. Your post didn't touch the issue at hand at all, it was just the all too obvious (but irrelevant) 'they set the rules'. Fwiw: No, I don't have a G+ account.
