In what one expert on Internet privacy calls "a worst-case scenario," a Massachusetts man was jailed for sending his ex-girlfriend (who had a restraining order against him) an email invitation to join Google+.
But Thomas Gagnon contends he didn't send it; Google did, without his knowledge or consent.
When his ex-girlfriend received the invitation she went to the police, complaining Gagnon had violated the restraining order by sending her the email.
He was jailed.
