  Thank you! Most interesting bit imo: "If you have a Google Account, we may display your Profile name, Profile photo, and actions you take on Google or on third-party applications connected to your Google Account (such as +1’s, reviews you write and comments you post) in our Services, including displaying in ads and other commercial contexts. We will respect the choices you make to limit sharing or visibility settings in your Google Account. For example, you can choose your settings so your name and photo do not appear in an ad." Now the question is where are the settings? I assume it will be allowed by default. Will my choice be respected in the long run?

    The link is immediately available under the same text in the actual TOS: https://plus.google.com/settings/endorsements?hl=en https://plus.google.com/settings/endorsements?hl=en From: http://www.google.com/policies/terms/changes/ http://www.google.com/policies/terms/changes/ It's very clear and had saved my previous restrictive settings, which is solid in my opinion.

      Ah I didn't realize this was only for google+? Doesn't this apply to gmail (my real name), google calendar, my youtube account, my android usage...? My searches?
      • codezero 13y ago
        I don't know. It looks like this is for using ads in social search. Technically they are pushing hard to make YouTube just a subset of Google+ though, so who knows what extent this affects people, but it seems pretty restricted right now. Gotta whittle people down slowly :)

          Yup! People will give up their privacy "willingly" sooner or later!

        I hope not as I still managed to escape all the pre-selected checkboxes to tie my account with g+

          Godspeed gcb0, Godspeed!

        When I clicked the "endorsement" link, I was redirected to a "Join Google+" page. So I guess it's only applicable to Google+ (now).
