i pretty much just use Gmail for Google Play anyway, so they can sniff all my emails if they want to.

UPDATE: DO NOT FOLLOW MY ADVICE FROM BEFORE.

There is a second, pushier nag screen I am now getting that requires you to sign up for google plus. The only way to escape is to close the browser window/tab.

Next requirement... webcams in your bedroom.

I use DuckDuckGo for a search engine for most things.

* I got an email saying "Welcome to Google+, (Gmail username)" I never signed up for or logged into Google+. Google just won't take no for an answer.

Yeah, they can be really sneaky.  At least Facebook don't tell you about the invisible profile they make about you... or maybe that's worse...

for some reason the video didn't load when I clicked it, but I youtube'd it, that's pretty cool actually.

That is weird!

Did you mean to post this in the "is it true that..." thread? 

[dweez]

Ha, yeah I did.  sorry.

I found a hidden X button in the middle of the new google plus shafting policy. Upon clicking it, I was met with "Okay, we'll present more options later!" Can't help but take that as a threat.

I don't want google plus. I never wanted google plus. I will never want google plus, unless they supply me with cylon hotties, without murderous intent.

It's possible facebook invited itself to you out of their email contacts. Just like a virus.

I have a cousin who DESPISES candy crush, facebook started sending me invites to play candy crush with him.

I think there's probably an "Invite someone to facebook" button. That would add your email address to their database. If you still haven't joined you get the reminder. Taking the position that you forgot to join is an insult.

golly facebook

I just now saw a "Also share on Google+" box that was checked on YouTube comments, the bastards.
