Yep, you can turn it off. It's in the settings menu of google plus.

Does that uploading happen to Android users who are not Google+
subscribers?

Good luck, any of the new breed of smart phones mean you need to get in bed

Why? You can setup and operate an Android phone w/o any use of Google,
believe it or not. It does require some web searching...

That is true, but you are unable to use the Android Market.

Correct but everything (AFAIK) available in the Android Market is
available elsewhere.
Google turns up this along with several other lists:
And this warning: "Unlike the Android Market proper, these alternative
markets do not have the big "Android Kill Switch" for malware
infections. You are more vulnerable if you install from these sources
simply because these markets do not have any pervasive big brother like
security feature. I highly recommend using an antivirus app to scan
incoming downloads and newly installed apps, especially when using
alternative markets."

Depends on the alternative market, I suppose. I have far more faith that
Amazon is actually vetting the apps they place in their market, compared
to the amateur-hour crapola that makes up 90% of the Google Market.

Really? the declarative sentence 'English is read downwards' was "referring
to TOP posting"? In your dreams, perhaps, but not as it appeared on my LCD.
Or maybe your "it" is referring to something other than that sentence?
Sure, one of the three accompanying imperatives did mention top posting,
but all three seemed to be non sequiturs each to the other, and unrelated
to the declarative. Recall, the four were, in sequence:
"Help make Usenet a better place:"
"English is read downwards,"
"please don't top post."
"Trim replies to quote only relevant text."
[And please don't blame me for the idiosyncratic punctuation/capitalization
-- it's yours, not mine.]

I see no reason NOT to run some AV software considering several are
free.

I don't have a problem with that, but the warning you quoted was that AV
protection was needed *especially if* software was sourced outside the
official Android market, implying the Android market was inherently much
safer. I think the amount if malware that has already been found in it
suggests that isn't the case!

I believe it is much safer. Notice I didn't say safe but safer, I
agree with the warning in that Google does at least make some attempt
to eliminate malware, I don't know if other sources do or don't.
The warning reads:
"You are more vulnerable if you install from these sources simply
because these markets do not have any pervasive big brother like
security feature. I highly recommend using an antivirus app to scan
incoming downloads and newly installed apps, especially when using
alternative markets."
Note carefully the wording, "more vulnerable", "especially when using
alternative markets.", not "more vulnerable" "only when using
alternative markets."
Nothing there says Google apps aren't vunerable, only that non-Google
apps are more vunerable and nothing there says you shouldn't have an AV
to scan newly installed apps if they are from the Google market.
You're reading the warning much differently than I am and, I think,
differently than it is intended.

********. You never delete anything off of google. It might look that way
but they keep everything and I've even heard someone from google admit to
that.
