It was more likely caught by an automated system looking for trademarked content.&lt;p&gt;Its amazing what conclusions people will jump to. A few days ago I saw a status update on G+ claiming Facebook doesn&apos;t send email notifications if you mention G+ in your status. I tested it on my own account and discovered it was entirely false.</text></comment>

By not letting this slide by, people start perceiving Facebook of fearing Google+. And why would you fear a competitor if not because you believed the market would respond to their advantage and your detriment. And it that is true, i.e. Facebook doubts itself, why should the users and, more importantly, the customers, i.e. Facebook&apos;s advertisers.</text></comment>
