Online privacy?? This is becoming a crime. The folks at Google+ feel that those who don't want their real name visible to the whole world must have "something to hide." This attitude needs to come to a screeching halt.

I ask you... what could possibly be MORE "personally identifiable" than your real name??

Without laws, companies couldn't care less about privacy. Executives who do have to lose out on valuable customer data. Without corporate cooperation, consumers have no real choice.

I completely agree. People seem to think that everybody who wishes for anonymity must be hiding behind some cloak of evil.
