Default Scumbag Google+ Shutting Down For Consumers After DataVulnerability Is Revealed

Google plans to shutter its Google+ social network for
consumers, citing its limited adoption with users. The tech
giant announced the decision at the same time that it disclosed
that the privacy of up to a half-million Google+ accounts could
have been affected by a "bug."

The company says it discovered and patched the issue in March
but decided not to disclose it immediately. It said it had no
evidence that any third-party developer was aware of the bug or
had misused profile data.

"Google+" isn't half as catchy a name as fukbook. I have little sympathy
for any social media but was REALLY surprised that such smart devs
hadn't seen this little detail at all. I'll venture to opine that with
this name it never had a chance!
