Keep Google From Using Your Face in Advertisements

You may have seen a warning at the top of your Gmail or Chrome explaining in boilerplate language that Google is changing its privacy policy. What Google is actually doing is starting a program where it takes things you've "liked" around the web, then uses your name and face in The good news is that unlike Facebook, Google's giving you a one-click way to opt out of this sort of invasive use of your likeness. Congratulations, you're now opted-out of Google's endorsement program. However, if you don't have a Google Plus account associated with your Google account, you'll have to sign up for one.
