So when the concept of the Google+ platform was launched by the company, Google was probably hoping for a good response from the consumers and would have loved to see their social networking concept to be a hit and to well flourish like its many rivals in the industry such as Facebook and Twitter but it wasn’t meant to be for the company.

On the above mentioned date, Google will start the removal of all of the content that users have on the Google+ platform, including photos, videos, pages and anything else on the site.

Additionally, all Google+ APIs will be vanquished as well on March 7.Google+ has been one of the very few unsuccessful ventures that Google began and was probably their most unpopular platform in this lifetime. However, this farewell is hardly going to be a heartfelt one as the company is probably going to feel an immense relief after seeing their app on the wrong track for so much time and both parties, the tech giants and consumers, who had to put up with its unimpressive performance and prevalent security flaws will be happy to see this platform come to an end.

One of the major reasons for the downfall of theplatform was probably all of the major flaws in the development of the platform, one such flaw was the bug that was allowing third-parties to access user data such as full names, email addresses, gender data and profile pictures since 2015 until Google finally got around to dealing with it in March 2018, Now imagine what people would have felt like after knowing that their data was up for grabs for the last three years, for the relative third parties.Now if this wasn’t bad enough, the fact that Google decided not to inform the public about it was simply immoral and unjust.
