This is the more reason why Google + should shut down completely. Google’s social media platform Google+ potentially exposed the personal information of 52.5 million users.
Google said in a blog post that it would discontinue the consumer version of the social media platform along with its API due to “significant challenges” involved in maintaining the product.
Google also acknowledged the platform’s low adoption and said it would discontinue it in the next 90 days.
User data was potentially exposed through the Google+ API after a software update introduced a bug which could be exploited.
Data that might have been exposed include names, email addresses, occupation, age, and other personal information.
Google said it fixed the bug promptly and found no evidence that app developers misused this security flaw in any way.
To download your data and doc before the shut down, kindly check this post.
I don’t even like this google+
Can Google be sued for this? Some people could capitalize on this unfortunate error and maybe make a quick buck outta it.
hmmm. someone privacy isn’t safe again
I don’t even use it at all
What are they still waiting for?
I can’t remember the last time I use Google+…
They should be sued seriously
Don’t think i have data worth downloading.
I thought it was already shut down
Hope this won’t affect someone’s blog?
They should not try it ooO cos am still using the app.
Google is just force closing their applications
sadly Google + is going down
Well, i’ve never cared about this data privacy of a thing.. Good thing still that discovered it on time.
Didn’t use it that much.
So whatever the want the should do
I don’t use google+. Infact, I’ve always found it boring and unattractive. So, bye bye Google+.
Most of the documents I v dre r irrelevant..
Goodbye Google+ nothing last forever
After all, not all the initiative from the big boys turns out to be a success story.
