But even more, Google is now preventing me from sharing items and commenting in Google Reader because of the profile suspension. They are claiming that if you don't have a valid profile, you can not use the social features of their services, including Reader. It's one thing to prevent me from using the new Google+ service, but it is unethical to take away features from a service I've been using for five years and that my non-Google+ friends still enjoy. I have yet to hear any media outlet mention this yet. Google+ disapproved of my name and suspended my profile.
