This is good. Very good. This author is a weasel, trying to twist and manipulate words.

The real story is this:
Google does not want what user FIRST see on profiles, to be offensive stuff. As anyone can see your profile photo, and it is the FIRST thing that a new user might see, it got pulled. Nothing wrong with that. Is facebook cooler because every 10 year old brat on it has a picture of them flipping the camera? Well, if you like then, then go use failbook. Nothing is stopping you and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Google+ remains a pretty mature place, and threads actually receive real interaction. Moreover, the interaction on Google+ is much more meaningful.

On failbook, I have over 200 friends and speak to maybe 3 of them. On Google+ I know a shitload of people, and actually speak with them. moreover, because of the google+ mobile app with the "Nearby" stream, I actually met quite a few people in my neighborhood.

Facebook is the new Myspace. Accept it and get over it.

Good for Google. It’s OK to have reasonable standards, even if the articles author finds in only “mildy lewd.” Isn’t the whole point of “flipping the bird” to be offensive?

Bleeping absurd. What is it with these companies and their insistence on making grown adults live in a PG-13 world?

Here’s a friendly little tip for you: If you are going to criticise somebody else for their incorrect use of the “English Language”, make sure you don’t make any boo-boos either.
