It's fairly obvious that Google was looking for an excuse to close down Google Plus, and this data breach is just a convenient reason. They could have fixed the problem if they wanted, but they're simply not interested. This isn't the first time I've been on a dying social network. Those of you who were on Multiply will remember how it was murdered in 2011-12 by the new management under Stefan Magdalinsky, and how they had made up their minds to kill the network long before any official statement was made. And you'll remember how the impassioned protests of tens of thousands of users achieved.....absolutely nothing. And Multiply was far more popular than Google Plus ever was, with a far more dedicated user base. What I mean to say is, it's pointless begging Google not to kill Google Plus. They've decided on it a long time ago and they don't give a damn for you or me.
