Following a serious data breach last year in which the personal information of 500,000 users was exposed, Google will finally shut down its failed social network today after eight years of struggling to gain market share. Google has officially started the process of shutting down and deleting all consumer accounts on its Google+ social network platform, bringing an end to the company’s attempt to directly compete with the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
