Google+ is Google's latest and apparently a very serious attempt in conquering the social world on the Internet. Millions of people are enjoying Google+ with positive and negative reactions to it. However, there are complaints that Google+ is deleting some accounts simply because of the name of the accounts.
According to ZDNet, Google deleted a large number of plus accounts because the profiles seemed to be fake. One particular Google+ user that ZDNet noted had lost her plus account because of the profile name which was "Ladyada". Google also asked another user to scan his Photo ID and send it over to Google in order to get his Google+ profile back.
For those who are not a big fan of Google+, losing Google+ might sound like not being able to access the social networking platform. But it's more than that. Those who lost their Google+ account couldn't log in to Gmail, YouTube or any other Google product. We all know that Google uses same username and password across all Google products. But we didn't know that ban from any of these Google products can mean ban from all of them.
However, we have come across Google+ terms where it states you are prohibited from using any professional title, alias, or any type of unusual characters. Google says, in Google+, you can be sure that you're meeting the right person. To make themselves right, the company forces you to use the name you are commonly known among your friends, family and real life circles!
Therefore, you have to be serious before your account gets revoked. Because if, by any chance, you are revoked, suddenly your Internet world will be frozen until restored.
