Google Plus (Google+)
So, I just recently found out that Google is quietly closing their attempt at competing with Facebook in the 'social media stakes'.
I am posting this here mainly to let anyone know who has stuff on that site, that they'd better hurry to get it off, if they still want it.
I was asked/invited to join that site when it first opened, and I did join, used it to display some of my digital photography (Flickr was in hiatus at that time) - then I read the terms and conditions. And I was out of there like a scalded cat. Google claimed intellectual ownership of everything uploaded. Thanks, but no thanks to that!
And now they have sat on a security bug that has left all the content of the site open to theft for many months and not let anyone know. That is all your personal data on there - up for grabs by any malicious hacker .... appalling!
My respect for Google, while not in free fall, is definitely tarnished. I don't even use their search engine any more; haven't for over a year. Duckduckgo is a viable alternative that does not sell your search history to marketers and is concerned about promoting and preserving privacy ... including making recommendations and providing tools and information.
just f.y.i. -Peter
