Google to close down Google+
Print Edition
Internet giant Google said on Monday that it is shutting down the consumer version of its own social networking site Google+ due to low usage and a bug discovered in March last year that could leak the data of about half a million of its users.
鈥淭he consumer version of Google+ currently has low usage and engagement: 90 percent of Google+ user sessions are less than five seconds,鈥 said Google, adding it is going to close Google+ in the coming months seven years after it was launched.
The demise of Google+ also came as a result of a bug discovered last year but acknowledged for the first time by Google on Monday, and the flaw in one of its Google+ 鈥淧eople APIs鈥 exposed some private user data to third-party developers, including such information as the occupations, genders, ages, and e-mail addresses of many users.
鈥淲e discovered and immediately patched this bug in March 2018,鈥 Google said, but the flaw, which has existed since 2015, could potentially affected up to 500,000 Google+ accounts.
