Google's 'ID Validation' Is a Joke, But Not Funny

Posted by timothy on from the your-voice-is-your-password-so-yell dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I was curious about the whole profile reporting and ID validation process on Google+ so I decided to do a little experimental work to find out just what is involved. Answer: very little which could be called rigor." Tease: this story involves a form of I.D. only slightly less funny than the 409-eater with a passport in the name of James Tiberius Kirk.
