A had found their profile on G+ was removed because it contained an alias name and not a real name.  I&#8217;ve been seeing this happen a lot in the past few days.  If you are serious about using G+ to its potential, you may wish to consider &#8216;outing&#8217; yourself and letting us know who you really are.  If not, then perhaps it&#8217;s not for you.  My take?  G+ is about real people, not hiding behind anonymoty online.  But there seems to be a double standard.  Strawberry Singh is someone I&#8217;ve met &#038; networked with online and happens to be a big part of Second Life (something I&#8217;m not really familiar with).  But her account was removed because G+ didn&#8217;t like her use of an avatar and alias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the question is&#8230; does this mean people like 50 Cent, Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg will have to be booted, too?  I don&#8217;t see that yet&#8230;but because they&#8217;re celebrities they get treated to a double standard&#8230; how does G+ not know that Strawberry is not a celebrity in her own right?  What difference does it make?  I&#8217;m following people called Not Safe For Work, Fuzz Aldrin, Sassy Suspiria and Berrie Pelser, all of whom use an avatar and happen to have interesting names&#8230; does this mean they&#8217;re going to get slashed, too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some good discussion going on at the article below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Originally shared by Adriel Hampton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/www.wiredtoshare.com\/sl<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        Last night I was in a hangout with a new friend, who we&#8217;ll simply call &#8220;A&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-333764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bobbi-jo-woods"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=333764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333764\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=333764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=333764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bobbijowoods.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=333764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
