Hallelujah!! Google+ to close after leaking data on 1/2 million users.

Google+ shutting down after data leak affecting 500,000 users
Citing "significant challenges," failed social network will be put out to pasture.

oogle exposed the private details of almost 500,000 Google+ users and then opted not to report the lapse, in part out of concern disclosure would trigger regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing people briefed on the matter and documents that discussed it. Shortly after the article was published, Google said it would close the Google+ social networking service to consumers.

The exposure was the result of a flaw in programming interfaces Google made available to developers of applications that interacted with users’ Google+ profiles, Google officials said in a post published after the WSJ report. From 2015 to March 2018, the APIs made it possible for developers to view profile information not marked as public, including full names, email addresses, birth dates, gender, profile photos, places lived, occupation, and relationship status.

Nothing good with that, as I am concerned. Google + 1 was a good SEO signal and effective way to get additional SEO boost.
