Well, then (Google+)

drwexWoke up this AM to find my Google+ profile is suspended. Not hugely surprised - it's one of the risks of protesting in someone else's playground. I can't post to any of my circles nor can I comment on posts, but apparently I can still read things, including things posted as "Limited" - presumably that's to circles that include me.
Amusement value so far:
- I'm suspended for name violation of the ToS. However, I'm unable to change my profile name in order to comply with the ToS. So my name continues to be visible as the thing that upset them.
- Contrary to their written policy, no warning was given. (Also not a huge surprise - seems to be what happened to others.)
- I am unable to set a Gchat status. I can, however, write snarky commentary in my profile description text.
- In order to get reinstated I have to provide proof of identity. An accepted proof of identity is a "reputable" (their word, not mine) site containing my name and picture. Among the listed reputable sites is Facebook.
Yeah, I got nothin'.
I've spent more time on Facebook today than I have in months. Thanks, Google!
