A Preliminary Analysis of Privacy On Google+ (https://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27349/).
-{ Quote: "Computer scientists say there are privacy concerns over some data that Google+ shares.
In this paper we provide a preliminary analysis of Google+ privacy. We identified that Google+ shares photo metadata with users who can access the photograph and discuss its potential impact on privacy. We also identified that Google+ encourages the provision of other names including maiden name, which may help criminals performing identity theft. We show that Facebook lists are a superset of Google+ circles, both functionally and logically, even though Google+ provides a better user interface. Finally we compare the use of encryption and depth of privacy control in Google+ versus in Facebook.
