Google+ gains new controls to give business users more privacy

Google has added some new privacy controls to Google+ to give business users a more secure way to share sensitive information on the social network.

The company added "restricted communities" to Google+, as a way to have conversations on the social network but with privacy-aware controls. Users can decide whether to open the community to everyone at their company, or open only on an invite basis. Communities in Google+ were designed to let people start conversations around any number of topics. But Google hopes the new feature will attract business users without them worrying about spilling company secrets on the site.
