Google took the decision last year to shut down its social network, after the disclosure of a security vulnerability. Yesterday he announced the exact price date termination which is April 2, 2019.
You will remember her vulnerability revealed for Google+ which resulted in information leak for 52,5 million users. After this scandal, the parent company, Google, decided to end the social network once and for all, since it never managed to reach customers and users anyway.
Yesterday, with an announcement, revealed that Google+ will no longer exist after April 2, 2019. H version buisness will continue to exist, as originally announced.
Although you still have two months until April 2, from February 4 you will not be able to create new profiles, pages, communities and events. The company will also close the possibility of using Google+ for comments on Blogger. In the coming weeks, the Google+ login buttons will stop working and in some cases will be replaced by the Google login buttons. However, your page will remain visible until the closing day, when all user accounts and pages will be closed, and all Google+ comments made by users in recent years will be deleted.
Since some communities may have accumulated interesting and important data, the company will give administrators the ability to download the data them, sometime in early March.
There seems to be no way Google can change its mind. However, its customers G Suite will continue to have access to Google+ buisness services and will soon have a new look and new features.
