/admin/config/services/sharethis > Advanced Tab > CopyNShare

If 'Measure copy & shares of your site's Content' is checked, it appends a hash to URLs that can potentially break Google Plus sharing.

Example URLs that demonstrate the issue.

URL with CopyNShare hashtag present: https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wheretraveler.com%2Fnew-york-city%2Fjennifer-hudson-broadway%23sthash.85jp7XCq.hpvt&hl=en-US

When hashtag is present in URL, Google Plus is unable to read og:title, og:description.

Same URL without CopyNShare hashtag: https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wheretraveler.com%2Fnew-york-city%2Fjennifer-hudson-broadway&hl=en-US

If CopyNShare is off, gPlus sharing works as desired.
