I don't understand why this is such a bad thing. Email is not really a private network. Anyone can send you email at any time just like they could send you a letter without your permission. Requiring this to be opt-in seems a bit crazy to me.
This just makes communication with people you already have a sort-of relationship with easier. Seems like an all around good thing. If you really, really feel like only a whitelist of people should ever contact you then you can always go into the options and turn it off. But why would you?
- usea 13y agoA minor nitpick: the default setting is "Anyone on Google+" so they don't have to have any relationship with you at all.
- statictype 13y agoDoes anyone on Google+ currently need to have a relationship with you to send you email?
- hobs 13y agoThey do need to know my email address, which isnt publicly available. They can add me on google+, which I dont care about, I do however care about anyone who can sign up an account sending me annoying emails.
