How to opt out of Google endorsements

Google, who I'd say is not ideally clear on what not being evil means, is going to use your name and face on ads to your friends for things you've plus-oneed on Google Play or Google Maps unless you opt out.

Here's how.

Thank you! I just did this, and am about to boost the suggestion on my own blog (DW,LJ). One addition: The EFF page you link to says under Step One:
>> Go to the Shared Endorsements setting page. You can find this page by going to Google Plus and clicking "Settings" in the toolbar on the left. <<

That toolbar only appears when you hover your pointer over the "Home v" button at the left of the tab bar just below the top of the window.
