F*CK You GooGLe PLuS!

What's this about?

Google are now forcing everyone with YouTube accounts to activate G+ accounts.

Apparently, you can no longer comment there without signing in via a G+ account.

I will move all of my video activity in the future to Vimeo.

Try as they may, I have resisted this up until now.

They have already been trying to shovel every gmail account into G+ for months.

Ultimately they want everyone to have a G+ account linked to a name verified with a cell phone number.

And I am sure there are plenty of idiots happy to go along with that idea.

This is what I find particularly insidious about the whole thing.

I, however, am G-Minus.

Sooooo....

Fuck you Google Plus!

And kudos to @EmmaBlackery

Forgive me for using hate speech but I HATE Google and am doing everything in my power to be rid of them.

Google: "Ok, we're almost done setting up your account, just a few more questions. Are you married? Any distinguishing moles, warts or tatoos? How much do you earn? Any hobbies? Any children? What is your credit score? What is your occupation? Any idiot friends who may be interested in giving up their personal information too?"  

lol

Maybe Google could drop by and document the hemorrhoids on my anal sphincter and the polyps up my rectum.

That's right Google, get yourself a big sniff there.

 

(Be my luck I'll end up like that dude in New Mexico undergoing various enema's and colonoscopies)

Whenever my computer tells me Google wants to connect to my computer, personally, I reach for the fuck you button. Real-name and verified ID requirements is like opening the front door of your house to all kinds of random vunerabilities. Seriously. Would people accept if it was mandatory to where a name badge with contact information before you leave the house?

I demand to have the email addresses, phone numbers and a recent photos of every person who is on the board of directors at Google and evey other Internet technology company. Then, maybe they can have mine.

That's certainly true

But there is a difference between having embarassing material attached to your photo and real name for the whole world to see and having embarrasing material attached to your IP or email.

They want the liberty minded to go.  They don't want you sticking around informing the sheeple.  I filled in a common name.  It will f their site up to have so many people faking the same common names.  Those who use their real names may end up being stalked.

I read earlier one of the creators of YouTube was hopping mad because he couldn't comment w/o creating G+.

Of course his sentiments were the same, a big hardy F/U.

Cell #? Over my dead body. Surely one could plug any combo of 10 digits. Even better, schmitts or is that shits personal number.

If I wanted to I could use an old Sim Card. But why bother. 

We see what direction they are alll headed in. Anonymity is under attack. That is what this is all about. They can't get your credit card numbers if you have any, so they go for cell numbers instead. 

They claim it is for your own protection or to facilitate the policing of hate speech.

What a load of fucking crap.

Then they have the gall to tell you it is a free service. Free for whom may I ask? Who is earning ad revenues on other people's content?

I have noticed this aswell. I used to be able to buy a prepaid SIM card with cash. I could use sms to pay for vpn service. Some EU law put a stop to that. Now if you want to use sms to pay for things you need to register your SIM card.

You can still pay cash for a sim card in most Asian countries.

Whenever asked for an email (blogs, w/e), I just type a random gmail name - given it's size, anything is almost 100% certain a valid account.

I use Sarah Smith as my handle for all internet interactions (Obviouly not allowed on ZH)

sometimes I get comments from people telling me how stupid I am for using my "real name"

Not obvious to me. Where does it say that you are not allowed to use Sarah Smith as a handle on ZH?

Oh, that's right, you're the one who was in a tizzy over Bill Banzai using his 'real name' on ZH, "which actually goes against the rules of this blog."

Just out of curiosity, are there other areas of your existence in which you feel compelled to follow imaginary rules?

Sun, 11/10/2013 - 10:31 | 4140214 williambanzai7
williambanzai7's picture

I still haven't gotten around to changing my proper name to Banzai.

But how about Reggie Middleton, Bruce Krasting and Chris Whalen to name three prominent posters identified by proper names.

Sarah Smith, did they bounce you for trying to use your actual name on ZH?

I recall from a few years back Leo expressing regret about using his real name when he started blogging

 

Particularly in the US, one can probably find out the brand of asswipe you use is they have your real name and maybe a hint or two of where you live or other personal details

 

I commented the other day about the poor saps that put their lifestory on Linkedin

but what is worse are the folks who lived in virtual anonymity in pre digital times now have their virtual history's just a few clicks away

 

sort to like poor old MDB who posts here as a troll , his blog (which he since changed) left a trail of identity clues that lead to his front door in South Africa

even if you publish on for example some of the wiki sites, you think you're anonymous but your IP is there for everyone to see,  same with Bitly or worse goo.gl , which leaves a public trail

I am the guy you enjoy making fun of so much, I was just wondering what your beef is with me personally. The guy that was targetted by hackers all over for some unknown reason, I guess they enjoy trying to ruin someones life. I've been wondering if my assumption is correct, they made a fake blog and were impersonating me posting hacked emails, hacked notebook writings, and I am assuming they can see me somehow. I was assuming my computer screen. I really don't get why so many people are out to get me, I've never did anything to anyone. So to any government workers who frequent this site, I never had a blog ever, it was hackers impersonating me. Also much of what they posted I am assuming was me writing nonsense in notebook knowing I was being monitored by hackers or was I correct and it really was google pissed off at me for ranting on their search engine for a week straight in a protest of the NSA. I was simply using satire in my own way. You would know better than I though are my assumptions correct that I am being recorded somehow and that there is a fake blog with people pretending to be me. If my assumptions are correct I'd appreciate the link if. I am asssuming there is a central source of information regarding me since so many people on this site know stuff I typed and stuff I did like when i mooned my computer, though that was me mooning the hackers not the government that I am assuming are looking at me. I am still confused why so many people seem to have a personal grudge against me, it was a group of hackers I pissed off on youtube then they posted stuff about me on this site and got you all riled up for some unknown reason. Any feedback would be appreciated, even being mocked in some of your drawings I can still appreciate good satire. I tried using it myself but I am assuming I just pissed off google, or was it just hackers or both? Someone posted on this site that I basically pissed off the dot com billionares by playing in their pond and they decided to destroy me, is this true? I know I am giving you plenty of more ammo to ridicule me with, but I am just looking for an honest answer. How would you feel being hounded by hackers all over the world, not to mention having people who share many of your views and idealogies seem to hate you personally, for what I still don't know. I am assuming their fake blog about me (I am  assuming it was from comments I've read) lead you to believe I am something I'm not. This has been going on since mid August and has only gotten worse. To the hackers out there so hell bent on this, why are you doing this? I just want some honest answers, how did a meaningless nobody like myself get such attebtion and why do I have so many people out for my blood and wanting to see me suffer? Once again if there is anyone from the government reading this whatever  blog is out there, that wasn't me posting any of that nonsense. Also they took my gibberish notebook writings and posted that as well. i knew I was being hacked and monitored so I just posted a bunch of gibberish, but they reposted it I am assuming. To the rest of the zerohedge community, I would appreciate your feedback, this is fight club after all so have at it, but please look at it from my perspective, imagine if you had people all over the world trying to ruin your life, why i have no idea, it started off localized on youtube then it spread from there. If you don't know I am that monkey with the hand grenade as some of you refer to me as. I am still wondering why people I've never even spoke to in my life wish me such misfortune. Sorry for the long post without paragraphs, anyway Mr. Banzia do you know if there is some central source or a fake blog out there impersonating me? This whole situation is quite stressful to be honest, what's worse when I try explaing to my family that I am being targetted by people all over the world and it might not just be hackers, they think i am crazy, sadly it is true as far as the hacker thing is concerned. I am not sure if the government is pissed now as well, thinking that whatever was being posted was me doing it, so that's another thing to have to wonder about.

However, if you are drunk most of the time, and out of control, THEY (the criminal network within the USG), may be targetting you as a stooge in a staged event. Keep a close eye on your bag and belongings when in public places, like Starbucks, etc...I have heard that Scopolamine, the date rape drug, prevalant in South America, can permanently alter you, as well as make you vulnerable to extreme manipulation, a la Aurora Colorado/ son of the LIBOR-Gate software programmer, "shots came from two directions at once," "there was an extra face mask found in the parking lot," event. Good luck. And who cares?
