Comment on Google Plus Deleting Accounts En Masse: No Clear Answers

The bottom line is that you need to own and control your identity online. You can't leave it in the hands of others if you gain significant value from your identity. Most people don't gain much value from their identity, but those that do need to own and control it.

I agree and I don't limit it to online, but real life as well. The idea that a person's identity is something to be granted, approved of, regulated or controlled by corporations and governments is outrageous, offensive, and to be resisted with all necessary force. My identity is my own.
