The lesson here is the Google is a corporation with a corporate agenda, with an allegiance to share holders and not users. I think this is the 3rd such story I've read in the last week.

The other complaints I have seen are from gaming communities. I can understand anon getting banned as they probably breached TOS by supporting criminal activities. But it hasn't been the case for other instances I have read about.

Anyone who thinks Google+ is a social network designed to improve the world is sorely mistaken. Its purely designed to harvest consumer to increase profit margins. If your data can't be sold to 3rd parties via Googles ad netowrk then you aren't welcome.

Whats the saying? "If they aren't selling you something then you're being sold"? no idea who to attribute that quote to.
