Google is trying harder than ever to force people to sign up for Google Plus. It’s almost impossible to avoid it! And now, they’ve discovered a new strategy to do this: either you join Plus, or they’ll release your search history and all the private information they’ve learned about you over the years.

Have you ever found yourself in the weirdly bizarre section of Youtube? One minute you’re doing research for work or listening to some tunes, and the next you’re watching a doctor pull giant worms out of someone’s eye.
It seems harmless at the time, but when friends and family get google’s report, the glowing things you recounted in your Christmas letter will fade from memory. They’ll forget that you nearly won the Nobel Peace Prize, and instead associate your name with the unfortunate evening you became obsessed by giant carbuncles and Tijuana table dances – or worse!
