Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss (Google +)

A useful privacy setting that you have to dig around to find because it is disabled by default?

Typical Facebook BS, right?

Well, except when it's Google + doing the user-screwing.

It has at least one useful but hard-to-find privacy feature that is disabled by default. How did I stumble across this setting? Simple: I looked at the Google+ profiles of top Google executives and engineers. Every single one of them has changed this default setting.


To reiterate my point:
Google is no more your corporate BFF than Facebook, or any other megacorp.

The world's largest advertising firm isn't interested in your rights or your privacy except as a lever to elevate their bottom line.

Just like Facebook.
