Yes, let's talk about Android. First, let's try and get a few things correct before we talk about it.

1. There is no need for a Google+ account. Why you would say this makes me wonder if you even use the platform.

2. You don't even need a Google account and can use the phone without one.

3. Getting back to the Google+ account. If you don't want one or would like to delete your existing one then there's a simple way to do it.

Agreed However, as a lambda user, by buying an android phone and following the default "init procedure" you would have a G+ account without really asking it.. If you disable it, if you try to do something on YouTube, your G+ account will come back as herpes comes back...

The problem is not really what is possible to do but how much effort is needed to protect his privacy using google tools.
