Opt Out of Google’s Weird New Ads that use your Face And Name

If you didn’t know already, Google has started to use your name and face for their advertisements.

The good part is that it just takes two clicks to opt-out thanks to TechCrunch writer Greg Kumparak who went into the depths of Google+ to find it out for us.

Here’s how to do it

1. Click this link. (And, if necessary, log in to the Googles. I promise that’s a link to actual Google, not fake Google that steals your password and uses it to order handbags.)
2. Uncheck the checkbox. Unless it’s already unchecked — in which case, leave it unchecked. Oddly, some people are saying they’re opted out by default; others say they find it checked. tl;dr: check = bad.
3. Hit save!

And you’re done*.
