How is it creepy? You see an ad and also see that one of your friends voluntarily liked it. Won't this be a bit helpful if you're going to see an ad anyway?

- RodericDay 13y agoI'm personally more creeped out by all the people defending it. I hope they work at Google at least, it would make some sense.

- vetinari 13y agoThey are defending it, because they read TFA and understood, that basically nothing changed. If you wrote a review or +1ed something, you published it (whether for all, or for some circle). Now this review will show for exactly the same audience alongside the ads for the same product/page/whatever. This is just a knee-jerk reaction by people who didn't bother to read what it is about, just went straight into "bad Google" mode.
- Helianthus 13y agoThis might be a minor degree of "bad Google," but it still is firmly in the realm of "bad Google." If you're arguing that this is a tiny sliver in the greater scheme of things, I'll agree with you. If you think this sliver doesn't reflect the larger direction Google is taking (and everything that comes with it), I would disagree.
- munaf 13y agoIt's creepy for the person in the ad. Many people don't like their face being used without expressed permission.
