Google is clearly listening to user feedback on Plus. This is at least the third change so far in where I've seen Google folks engage in the initial discussions, describe their reasoning for why it was initially implemented the way it was, and (after a few days) come back with changes. Very impressive.

To enhance privacy further, I hope they will provide a way for people to use an artificial animated face and voice in hangouts:

With this change, how do you prevent anonymous trolls in hangouts?


Don't invite them in the first place? If your hangout is public, you'll get trolls. There are plenty of ways of faking a camera feed.


This is about enhancing privacy but not providing anonymity. You could always mute/block/report people.


How long do you think they can hold the "don't be evil" attitude listening to users' feedback on a project so huge and at the same time so "personal" for everyone?


Possibly not for long, but that's why there's value in their limited roll-out that many people have been criticizing.
