  1. Good they can explain that the EU regulators who will be delighted to fine them for it

    Gives me little confidence in anything else they run. What happened to all the talk about security from google - are we going to get gmail or drive messages next saying 'oh duh we've just noticed the entire world hacked it' ?

  3. The biggest impact I see for APIs is that this is going to make data exporting a lot more complex especially for Google+ Communities.

    The only way to export G+ community posts as a whole now is through the Friends+Me export utility, and that relies on the G+ API. So no API, no community archival.

  5. The company needs to be broken up, its way too big and powerful. Google, twitter, facebook, amazon, they are the robber barons of the internet.
