Founded in June 2011, after seven years, Google closes Google+, the main Internet network, Google Property and has acted after failing to endanger more than 500,000 accounts and personal information.

A security bug allows third-party developers access to Google+ user profile data from 2015 to Google and discovered and corrected them in March, but has decided not to let the world know. When a user allows access to the public profile information, the bug allows these developers to extract the fields as not a public profile and those of their friends.

In fact, 496951 usernames, email addresses, birthdays, gender, profile images, residency, occupation, and relationship status are potentially exposed, although Google claims have no evidence that the information was disclosed. abused 438 applications that could access it. .

Now Google+, which was already the city of ghosts largely abandoned or never inhabited by users, became a major responsibility of the company.

On October 8, 2018, Google announced the closure of Google+ for consumers, citing a low share of users and software errors. It's annoying that the Google+ consumer version has little use and dedication: 90% of Google+ user sessions have less than five seconds in length. "

This shows that Google+ will be fully closed in August 2019 to allow users to download and migrate their data.
