Washington: Hindering your privacy, internet giant Google has reportedly rolled out a new feature called 'Email via Google+', which will allow anyone to send emails to an unknown Google+ user, unless the recipient has opted out.
As per the new feature, anyone on Google's social network will be able to send messages to a user's Gmail inbox by simply typing their name in the 'send to' field.
However, a user's email address won't be visible till one chooses to respond to the email sent via Google+.
Recently, the company also made its Google+ integration mandatory for users to be able to post comments on video site YouTube, which in turn drew a lot of flak because users were required to log in through their Google+ id, if they didn't have one, they were required to make one.
