Google recently announced plans to improve privacy on Google+ by preventing users from sharing other users' semi-private posts.

"At the moment, if I created a post and specified that it could be viewed only by family members, they would nevertheless have the option to share it publicly--the Google+ equivalent of forwarding e-mail--unless I remembered to select the 'Disable reshare' option," writes CNET News' Declan McCullagh.

"Google engineer Kelly Ellis said in a video that: 'Starting next week, limited posts will not be sharable publicly--this is really important to us. On Google+, you should be in control of who sees your posts,'" McCullagh writes.

Go to "Google+ tweaked to disable private-post sharing" to read the details.
