Perchè alcuni account su Google+ sono stati chiusi e quindi sono inaccessibili? Google ha esplicitato il perchè ha congelato numerosi profili negli scorsi giorni.
TheGoogle+ exploitever since its debut has also coincided with another phenomenon: many users, starting last weekend, have complained about thedeletion of their Google+ account.
Unable to log back into theGoogle social networkand its now well-knownCircles, hundreds of people were no longer able to interact with their contacts on Google+.
As expected, there were many protests, expressed via personal blogs or through other social networks, but an official statement fromGooglehas now arrived, explaining the reason for the deletions and the correct way to manage one’sGoogle Plus account, which should be followed to avoid encountering new problems.
The point of contention for Google is theregistered users’ names: not only were fantasy names, special characters, pseudonyms, or excessively long names tolerated.
In practiceGooglewishes to create a social network made up of all real people – so to speak – with verifiable names.
Hence the decision to dedicate a few days to the “cleaning” process of accounts deemed not truthful, at least concerning the name.
At the same timeGoogleannounces that it wants to improve user contact, deciding to develop a clearer violation warning email, so that the user can be put in a position to correct the error before the account is suddenly deleted.
It is true that many people (or perhaps we should say personalities) on the web are known more by nickname than by full name; the same could be noted regarding singers, actors, etc…
How to manage these types of situations that, far from being hoaxes or fake profiles, are already predictable from the start?
On thisGooglesays it is working, probably deciding to add one or two fields where people can indicate their pseudonym.
The situation that has arisen is truly strange: if on the one handGoogle has become a champion of privacy, allowing its subscribers not to specify their gender, while on the other hand it requires them to clearly state their first and last name.
A problem that the staff is certainly already working on, also because – let’s remember – Google+ is still in Beta, so everything can still be reviewed and corrected.
One hopes, however, that this will not be the official excuse from the company to “experiment” too much with personal accounts.
