Google should reveal the 438 apps that accessed this information. This will help users to find how the apps used this info.....

    The truth is all giant tech companies spy on us on the government's behalf. there's no such thing as security flaw that they know nothing about they just allow it to happen on purpose

      I don't think anyone will miss it.

      But let's admit it. Critical security flaw or not, Google Plus was doomed to die, sooner rather than later. And this is despite Google earlier desperate attempts to force it down it's users.

      In the past few years, it's fate was already written on the wall and everybody, including Google, knew it.

              Time to go back to 4.4.4 days when everything on AOSP was easy for the super user, a hack in general and open bootloaders with a warranty if you flash everything correctly.

                  Facebook. Google. They are all the same. No need to demonise one over the other. It's how much you reveal to them that matters.

                    I am one of these developers. And it just means we will get less tools to use. In one side it's better, less work and effort, in the other? ^^; we will need to think of creative ways to achieve the same things without the lost APIs.
                    As for all G+ pages?
                    *shrugs* never used G+ so I frankly dunno. ^^;

                                Geric.770, 09 Oct 2018Then why did the internet existed in the first place then?The Internet was made to make scientific research and education easier. Also for military purposes with ARPANET. There would be no Internet without the US Military. Sociable Networse are a waste of bandwidth and time IMO. IRC lets you chat to loved ones in real time. The junk published, seen and shared on these Associal networks is proof.

                                  There will be no internet if all social websites are shutted down.
