Forced Google Plus integration on YouTube backfires, petition hits 112,000

Google’s war on anonymity during its involvement in NSA controversy has imploded as its move to force YouTube commenters to use Google Plus – and its unwanted "real name" policy – has backfired.
 
On November 6, Google changed its YouTube property to only allow comments from Google Plus accounts, thus de-anonymizing commenters, as the principal element of its site-wide comments overhaul.
 
Google’s move to force Plus onto YouTube has outraged the YouTube community – and beyond.
 
YouTube user fury is fueling this anti-Plus petition with over 112,000 signatures, increasing by the minute. (Update November 17, 10:12am PST: over 167,000 signatures.)
