The question "what time on April 2 is G+ being shut down" is being asked.

The question "what time on April 2 is G+ being shut down" is being asked.

Your safest assumption is AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DEFINITION of April 2.

Google haven't bothered to inform us.

  3. Dr.Awesome Gamer At this point, for them not to shut down would require a Executive Order from US President Donald Trump, which is more than a little unlikely as he would prefer to break up Alphabet rather than preserve it.

  4. Tokelau is UTC+13. So, at 00:01 on 4/2 in Tokelau, it will be 11:00 4/1 in England, 07:01 EDT 4/1 on the east coast of the US, 04:01 PDT 4/1 on the west coast of the US and 01:01 4/1 in Hawaii.

    In other words, Google+ could start disappearing as soon as any time on April Fools' Day for much of the world.

  6. Assume it's closing down one April 1st at midnight, your time, and plan accordingly. Never delay.

  7. My personal guess is either noon UTC, 5 am California, or else 6 am California time. But midnight California (just turned April 2) would not astonish me either.

    What I do not expect is an evening (California) shutdown: I think it will be more towards the beginning of the California work day.

    That ship has sailed L O N G ago. Consumer side G+ WILL end April 2, 2019.

  9. Probably it won't be a binary shutdown. But don't expect that anything will work when April starts.

  10. Maybe they will pull the plug as they leave the office this afternoon (but I'm in Cape Town on London time so it's midday already)

  11. Brian Holt Hawthorne More likely a sign-in wall.

  13. Edward Morbius Would it help if I offer to become an owner of this community April 1st? I have a GSuite account which means the communities that I co-own won't be deleted. All content by non-GSuite will be deleted though but this means I could post a #signalflare in perpetuum as people will still be able to find & read this page or stumble upon it following old links. All my other posts here would stay too but I can delete them so just the #signalflare stays up. Just a thought, this is what I plan to do with 'Build your own ceramic 3d printer' community. I can babysit all the dead communities :)
