Google Plus Has A Problem. Fear Not: I Have A Solution. Google+ and pseudonymity: An open letter to @Google | @GrrlScientist | Science. As you may know, along with thousands of people around the world, my access to all of my Google services was suddenly revoked, without warning and without reason. My original appeal to reinstate my account was rejected. I have written a letter to Google appealing this second rejection. The text of this letter appears below the jump, which may help those of you who are also appealing this decision: Dear Google I am writing to appeal the deactivation of my Google account.
One week ago, my entire Google account was deactivated suddenly and without warning. I was never notified as to what specifically had warranted this unexpected deactivation of my account. My name is a pseudonym, as I openly state on my profile. Further, according to the laws as I understand them to be in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, a person is entitled to establish and use a pseudonym if this use does not have fraudulent intent and is not meant to evade any legal obligation. Sincerely, GrrlScientist. Why Google cares if you use your real name. Google+ and the loss of online anonymity.
