You value mail - do not register on Google+

This morning I received an "unexpected" from Google, after which I seriously wondered if I should trust the products of this company at all?

In the morning I decided to create a page for my organization on Google+. Naturally, the email address is the name of the form. During registration, you must enter your age. I was going to indicate my age at 23 years, but accidentally (!) Was sealed up and, at the time of clicking on the “Register” button, I had 3 months (!).
Let us think that in this case I should make a normal, at least somewhat adequate, written not by horned animals, but by people, a site? I think I will now indicate options that come to mind to any reader:
A) Do not pay attention to the error and continue registration.
B) Indicate an error and return the user to the registration page.
C) Indicate an error and offer to enter the correct date in the current window.
D) Refuse registration due to small age.
But we use Google! This is not Apple any, it activates 500 thousand smartphones a day and he has no time to think about the little things!
Therefore, Google, without thinking twice, without issuing a single warning, IMMEDIATELY, blocks the account entirely. Including without access to mail.
What do you need to unlock your account?
Let's see:

Page gmail, enter the username and password, we enter.

We see that the account is blocked and will be deleted after 29 days. But it's a miracle! - you can unlock it! How so?

Hmm ... Just pay 30 cents with your card, or send postal pigeons, or fax, with a state-certified birth certificate.
Immediately cast off the natural indignation and wild anger and think logically:

1. In the work post there is neither my name nor surname. There is a credit card. Payment or will not work (because the data is different), or Google will not believe that this is my mail.
2. The same situation with the birth certificate.
3. Why the search engine data on my card and birth certificate?

Moreover, my situation is no longer single! www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?fid=49b4c90d632382ab0004a8934396508c
So, the question "What to do" remains open.
The question of trust in Google is unlikely to ever close now.
And I suggest that readers think three times before trying new features of this search engine.
If of course your data, mail, and nerves are important to you.
Where is the next surprise?
