How to stop Google from giving every user your email

[Database Error]

Google has gifted Google+ with a fun new feature that gives basically anyone with a Gmail account your email address. And by basically anyone with a Gmail account… I mean anyone with a Gmail account.

So we have two options now: scream and run after Google with fire and pitchforks, yelling about how insane it is to shove Google+ down our throats. Or, we could stifle that user rage and just head over to the incredibly easy opt-out page.

Let’s save ourselves a gray hair, OK?

OK!

It’s very simple: First, login to your Gmail account and hit the gear icon in the upper right hand corner. Scroll to your settings and select that. Then you’ll see “Email via Google+.” Here, select “no one.”

There. We just saved you a good year of your life getting mad about this.

they are not giving out your email address just allowing whoever you specify to email you. Stop freaking out like a little girl.

Exactly, people have a bad habit of just reading the headline of something and not really reading the whole message (I'm talking about people in general, not specifically to OP). I got the same email everybody else got from Google clearly explaining the new feature. Your address is hidden and they are only allowed to contact you once unless you reply to them. Nothing to be worried about.

I even saw Larry Hryb (Major Nelson) from Microsoft trying to take pot shots on twitter about it and I was like :-\ come on mane... It ain't that serious.
