Social networks are more and more dangerous every day, and I’m not talking about addiction or actual physical danger, but privacy intrusion. These networks ask more out of you each time they can, there are even some apps that ask for your bank information so you can transfer money from, let’s say, Facebook. Or vice versa, banks that let you connect to your social network... Doesn’t seem legit at all.
Anyway, not related to that, here’s how to delete your Google+ account. First click on your picture on the top right, then Account.
Then click on Edit settings.
Then scroll all the way down and click on “here”.
Now, here’s what you lose:
