Unfortunately this page will probably not even hit the most gullible folks who signed in their gmail and are using Google+ unknowingly. Hope there is a broader communication from Google to allow people to disable this. Can't imagine this was made an automatic opt in.

So the people who are unknowingly using G+... aren't really generating anything for Google to use, are they? They want to show your reviews alongside ads. Well, if you're making reviews on Google+, that's not really "unknowing". If you're sharing, +1'ing, following, or starring content on G+, you're not really unknowingly using G+.

So basically people who technically have a G+ account but never use it shouldn't be affected, because you have to use G+ to generate this content.
