From the article:
"These new endorsements will only be visible to the people who you originally shared that activity with though; most content will therefore be restricted to a specific circle from Google+, although ratings and reviews posted on Google Play or Google+ Local will be visible to the wider public."
Reviews are public, like they're meant to be. +1's are restricted to whomever you shared the +1 with in the first place. Does this not entirely mean that this data is shared with the relevant people already? The only difference is that this is being merged with AdSense.
Again, if you didn't want people to see your +1, why would you have shared that +1 with these people in the first place?
