How To Use Google+ Security And Privacy Settings

One of the biggest drawbacks for Facebook is its overcomplicated and difficult to use privacy and security settings. People struggle through many different menus in order to try and prevent any and every company, application and malicious user from getting hold of their precious data. We even see constant scams attempting to take advantage of users in order to spread their viruses across the platform.


These security settings is one of the reasons that Google+ has become a huge success. They have nearly reached 10 million users, and they haven’t even left beta. However, whether they will ultimately succeed or not depends on how they treat their consumers and the data of their consumers, and whether people join them or not. After all, social people go to the service where all of their friends are.



Suzanne Vara over on Socialmediatoday reports on the privacy settings available in the new social network and she says that the most important settings are easy to find and edit. For example to choose whether or not to receive e-mail notifications all you have to do is click on the gear icon at the top of the screen and choose Google+ settings. This then brings up a page displaying your display preferences.
