So, where's the problem with her using the name "Identity Woman" instead of "Kaliya Hamlin"?
The obvious issue seems to be that someone else could use "Identity Woman" and impersonate her, right?
Another possibility I haven't seen brought up in this thread. This is purely hypothetical; I have no idea what Google intends to do: Suppose that Google has plans to allow commercial entities/brands to use Google+, but intends to charge for that service. How then do they prevent "Joe Camel" and "Ronald McDonald" from setting up accounts on the service and bypassing the pay-wall? By enforcing a rule saying that, unless that is actually your name, you are acting in violation of the Terms of Service. In that sense, they'd be objecting on the premise that Identity Woman is Kaliya's brand, and that this is now a commercial use of the account. -Jim P.S. I see that there is a Ronald McDonald India whose picture looks like a certain clown...but fortunately no Joe Camel on G+.
