William Shatner Kicked Off of Google+

The actor's account 'was flagged for violating standards'

Actor, Priceline spokesman, and accomplished spoken-word musician William Shatner has been kicked off of Google+ for “violating standards,” according to a tweet he posted late last night:

“My Google+ account was flagged for violating standards. Saying hello to everyone apparently is against the rules maybe I should say goodbye?”

According to TechCrunch’s Robin Wauters, the site’s automated banning process could have accidentally barred his account. Google+ user Florian Rohrweck said (in colorful language) that the Google+ team likely has nothing to do with it.
