So what is the next coup? Linking all the comments from the past that you wrote when you were thinking it was pseudonymous to your real name?
My only recommendation: Get out of such services as fast as possible.

Maintaining multiple distinct identities through various Google services is only going to become harder, and with shit like this I wouldn't trust even completely separate Google logins to maintain distinct identities in the future.
For a while I've lived under the illusion that if you sign out, log out from Google, you will be less prone to tracking. That was until I had to fool around with multiple Google accounts for some testing.
When I click "sign out" do you know what the default landing screen is? "Sign in"!
And do you know what that screen shows you? Every single google account you've ever logged into. They know who you are. Every single identity you've created.
So yeah. Logging out or using multiple accounts is no protection. They're still tracking you.
It's like brigade says here: Unless you're all out, you're 100% in as far as Google is concerned.
I am increasingly convinced that full-name discussion => fewer moronic comments is a fallacy. Or at the very least a vastly overestimated correlation.
