I wouldn't characterize it as a "software error". It was a security vulnerability.[0]

- mihaifm 8y agoThanks, didn’t even know G+ was shutting down. Guess I better tell my mom, she’s just started using it, the low user count is actually a good feature for her, doesn’t like the “noisiness” of other platforms
- ehsankia 8y agoI also don't know if it should be on the list since it hasn't shut down yet. There's a 10 month sunset period. By that same logic it should include Inbox, which it doesn't, because that's also in a sunset period. EDIT: Also, only the consumer side is shutting down. G+ for G-Suite will still exist.
