    Google+ to shut down after coverup of data-exposing bug
    https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/08/google-plus-hack/

    "A security bug allowed third-party developers to access Google+ user profile data since 2015 until Google discovered and patched it in March, but decided not to inform the world. When a user gave permission to an app to access their public profile data, the bug also let those developers pull their and their friends’ non-public profile fields. 496,951 users’ full names, email addresses, birth dates, gender, profile photos, places lived, occupation and relationship status were potentially exposed, though Google says it has no evidence the data was misused by the 438 apps that could have had access."

      Editing … So how is this shutdown gonna work? Are they just gonna call it Google Minus and just change the icon for nine months? They didn't exactly answer that part. Lol.
