Google Addition Volition Teach Your Children Murdered
Google has been busily linking all your accounts to your truthful identity through Google Plus together with equally far equally they tin insisting on existent names. My married adult woman was horrified when her YouTube trouble concern human relationship was revealed without her knowledge.
But it is far worse.
Today I was mapping out to a greater extent than or less mining operations controlled past times people I believe to live on fraudsters. I saved a Google map together with past times default Google made this public. This is (a) trouble concern critical together with (b) equally I may live on mapping frauds conducted past times organized criminal offence mightiness resultant inwards expiry threats or worse.
However my province of affairs is unusual. It is commonplace that teenagers mightiness salve a google map together with so it is available on multiple devices.
Google Plus volition brand populace your children's movements.
Now Larry Page mightiness non live on worried nearly the security of his non-existent children but many rich people are. Asian billionaires are (justifiably) concerned nearly their kids beingness kidnapped together with murdered. [It is non uncommon together with I know people it has happened to.]
The persuasion that past times accident - together with without their cognition - their movements are made populace past times Google Plus is frightening.
There volition live on kidnapping together with murder.
I convey at to the lowest degree a dozen billionaires that read this blog. Advice: hire someone, alter your kids Google privacy settings. Do it now.
Google Plus has clearly overstepped the trace here. It volition non live on long earlier at that spot are unintended consequences together with to a greater extent than or less enterprising pol somewhere criminalizes exercise of their business. They convey demonstrated that they cannot live on responsible adults.

PS. Long Google. Less happy nearly it every day.
PPS. There has been incertitude expressed nearly this on Twitter.
I want to seek a point.
I ready a novel Google trouble concern human relationship amongst the cite together with disclosed historic menses of a xiv yr one-time daughter (Samantha). I saved a map. I did non plough on location or anything - I merely saved a map on a laptop.
Just a location at Bondi Beach. Here is the link.
And hither is the screenshot shared amongst the populace automatically:
Google should enquire themselves who, other than a creep or otherwise perverted someone tracks the maps of xiv yr one-time girls? Does this fellowship want to help paedophiles? Is that what "don't live on evil" means?
PPPS. There has been to a greater extent than or less give-and-take via e-mail on how to reproduce the results. It seems that Samantha maps (the ones linked above) are public but they are not indexed. In other words they are really difficult to discovery unless Samantha reveals them. If yet she reveals them in 1 lawsuit (say to percentage the address of a party) she volition reveal all futurity maps that are populace past times default. Surprisingly this is truthful fifty-fifty if she has turned off all location services together with laid her G+ to maximum privacy.
One correspondent insists my post is inaccurate together with inflammatory because Samantha has to reveal her maps once. I beg to differ. How oftentimes would a someone chose to reveal 1 map (and otherwise plough location off)? Teenagers would arrive at it all the fourth dimension I suggest.
In the inwards a higher house Samantha map someone (BronteBoy) has chosen to comment. He has thence revealed all his maps. BronteBoy (who is too me) has chosen to plough all their location settings off. Saved maps are populace past times default. You tin discovery this past times clicking the link above. Note that BronteBoy never made location settings populace together with has revealed his maps. The average user would convey no persuasion that past times commenting on someone else's maps they are giving them access to all their maps.
