    Google Ads Will Feature You

    Source: Information Week

    A change in the company's terms of service will put your name and picture in ads shown to your friends.

    Google on Friday altered its Terms of Service to allow it to include users' Google+ profile names and pictures in Google products, including advertisements, reviews and other commercial offerings.

    Google grants itself permission to do this by default, but allows users to opt-out of appearing in ads through its new Shared Endorsements in Ads setting. The company attempts to discourage users from revoking the permission it assumed they would grant by displaying this message when the checkbox is deselected: "Are you sure? When you disable this setting, your friends will be less likely to benefit from your recommendations."

    The opt-out option is limited in scope, however: Google will still employ users' names and photos in Shared Endorsements related to reviews, +1, follows and other promotional services. You were expecting something for nothing?

    Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
    A morning filled with 400 billion suns
    The rising of the milky way"

    If we do not destroy ourselves
    We will one day venture to the stars" -Carl Sagan
