一名叫Eric Chen的關注者解釋到有如此多的中國網友來評論，是因爲他們可以在“不利用特殊工具”的情況下就能訪問Google+。這裏的特殊工具，指的是在中國大陸網友需要利用虛擬專用網絡和代理服務器才能登陸facebook和twitter。
According to a BBC report, Internet users in many parts of the mainland found on February 20 they could access Google Plus, prompting some of them to suggest occupying the site. AFP reported that Google Plus appeared to be available in the mainland Sunday on some peoples mobile devices.
