The vibrant online community with 'new' laws on YouTube

Google has just acted quite annoying when making users have a Google + account to be able to comment on YouTube. This caused controversy and harsh criticism from the online community. It has been nearly a week since Google changed the comment system, but the opposition has not yet subsided.

The application asked Google to change the old comment system that was posted on Change.org and supported by many people. Currently, the number of signatures has surpassed 177 thousand marks and is growing rapidly. Only in the last weekend, the application has added 50,000 signatures. Google is focusing on developing Google + so it is feasible to integrate this social network into many applications other than YouTube.

Comments on YouTube used to have a lot of opinions that lacked objectivity. Therefore, Google believes that the application of Google+ comment system will be necessary to change the quality of YouTube viewers' opinions. But in a week since the new comment system was released, the problem still has not been resolved. In fact, YouTube's non-video comments continue to appear more and more, this is because Google+ allows users to submit ad links, unlimited characters and many other extended features.

Hopefully, with nearly 200,000 signatories to the protest on Change.org, Google will change its decision.
